Hi, I've been trying to use my Maven local repository on my machine as a repository in Archiva, with no luck so far.
As mentioned in http://www.nabble.com/HTTP-ERROR-500---Unable-ot-fetch-artifact-resource-td23707342.html my one previous post , I have tried adding the Maven repository as an Archiva managed repository, by just referring to the Maven repository's file path as my managed repository's file path. I then re-scanned the managed repository and it picked up the artifacts fine. I couldn't browse to the artifacts at first though, I had to add an observer role to the Guest account. But then I was able to browse the artifacts, however COULD NOT DOWNLOAD ANY ARTIFACTS. I couldn't get any information as to why this was happening, hence the previous post. I also tried adding my local Maven repository as a non-managed, remote repository in Archiva, and added a connector to the default internal Archiva repository, and made it the top connector in the list. This seemed to work, as when I did a Maven build on a client, who is using Archiva as a mirror, it began to download artifacts... but stopped, giving the below error: -------- [INFO] Error building POM (may not be this project's POM). Project ID: null:maven-plugin-api:jar:null Reason: Cannot find parent: org.apache.maven:maven for project: null:maven-plugin-api:jar:null for project null:maven-plugin-api:jar:null --------- But now, I don't know what causes this either. I think that perhaps it is an error to use the Maven local repository as a remote repository in Archiva since it may be a different structure? And so I'm starting to think the first way is the way to do it, but I can't get it to work. Has anybody got this to work -- Using an already existing local repository as an Archiva repository? Please let me know how, it must be a use-case of Archiva, surely.. I must be missing some configuration. I have been using the front-end solely for configuration, and been using Archiva 1.2.
