blacklisted by maven central repo and mirrors
Hello, All traffic coming from my company's network to the maven central repo has been blocked. This happened a few years ago. Since then we have tried using various mirrors of the central repo, but we periodically get blocked by them as well. We do use a maven proxy to try and reduce the amount of traffic we are sending to the servers, but we still keep getting blocked. I am unsure why this is, maybe not all developers here have the correct mirror settings in their pom.xml? What would you recommend that we do? Should we create our own mirror of the maven central repository? We would have to be un-blacklisted for that to happen. Is there some proxy setting I should check? Thanks, Michael Beaubien

Re: blacklisted by maven central repo and mirrors
No typical usage pattern of Maven, even by a large number of developers, generally doesn't get you blocked. We have heuristics, at least on Maven Central, that detects scrapers and that will get you instantly blacklisted. Sometimes it's a developers within an organization trying to grab the entire repository without anyone else in the organization knowing. You should definitely use a repository, like Nexus, and privately send me your IP and I can tell you the behavior that got you blocked from central, if indeed you have been blocked.

Don't take in consideration messages from Martin Gainty. As Julia is a great vacationer, Martin is some sort of bot that answers randomly (in the time) to a question with a totally random answer. Not totally random I think. Sometimes there is a connection between the previous post and Martin answer (see [1], [2]). Also this is not like usual spam trying to redirect you to a commercial or malicious site. So I was asking myself if it could be a research project about having a bot in OSS communities with enough intelligent behaviour to not be detected as bot. In the past I received an email from Martin that was directly addressed to me but I don't remember what it was about. However, if it is truly a research project, I'm afraid it is far from being complete as Martin's answers are often totally away from the point. The most funny is his signature block in several languages that look like a corporate signature but is full of mistakes (at least in French).
