improve mirroring support
-------------------------
Key: MNG-3407
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3407
Project: Maven 2
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Artifacts and Repositories
Affects Versions: 2.0.8
Reporter: nicolas de loof
Priority: Trivial
<mirrorOf>* is a helpful way to ensure maven doesn't get artifacts from the
Internet in a corporate environment where we want all artifacts to be managed &
backed-up.
Usefull but limited, as this requires the mirror repository to proxy ALL
repositories, beeing snapshots or not.
Using the repository ID to build the mirror URL can make things cleaner :
<mirror>
<id>*</id>
<url>http://mymirror/archiva/repository/{0}</url>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
With such a configuration, users can setup dedicated managed repository for any
public repository they want to mirror. Using archiva makes this use case
simple.
