Thanks, Eric, for your reply.
I actually managed to come up with a similar solution; I set up an FTP
server as my repository.
It's still a bit cranky, 'cause I have some difficulties with adding the
username and password to the URL, but I can live with that for now.
Thanks and have a nice weekend,
Amnon

Subject: Re: maven.repo.remote as a local filesystem
Hi Amnon
I'm a Maven newbie (but also a fast learner ;) ), but have also setup a
repository on a LAN. Used Apache to make the doc public and accessible
easily by the download engine. Works perfectly and Apache is quite easy
to install / configure both on Windows and Linux boxes.
file protocol is handy for a "real" local repository (same machine) but
on a LAN, especially if you mix Win and Linux machines, refering to file
using the UNC notation becomes quite tricky, and is not browser
independant to add up :(.
hope it helps
Eric.
