No, not currently possible but we welcome quality patches.
Note that we had troubles sharing lucene indexes (this is what m2e uses internally) among multiple processes in the patch, so I don't know if it is even possible to reliably share repository indexes among multiple workspaces. Also note that m2e keeps at least three copies of each repository index. The original .gz files downloaded from remote repositories. A shared lucene instance used to optimize time spent processing gz files. And per-workspace lucene indexes. The first two are stored under local repository .cache/m2e directory, the last one is per-workspace. -- Regards, Igor On 12-04-25 8:27 AM, Cèsar Ordiñana wrote:
Hi. I'm working with many related projects, having each one on its own eclipse workspace. On each of those workspaces, the m2e plugin downloads the maven repository index into the ".metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.m2e.core/nexus" workspace folder. The index files takes around 260Mb of disc space. This is becoming a real problem for me, as having near 20 workspaces takes around 5Gb of disc space for all the (repeated) indexes. Is there any way to configure where the index is stored? This way it could be configured on each workspace to use a common place, as it is really always the same index file, saving a lot of disc space, and also unneeded connections to the main repository server. The eclipse version I'm using currently is: Eclipse IDE for Java Developers Version: Indigo Service Release 2 Build id: 20120216-1857 Regards. -- Cèsar _______________________________________________ m2e-users mailing list [email protected] https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/m2e-users
