Hello,
Apologize if this posted twice, but it's been several days since I sent the
first email and I have not seen my post come across. Trying again.
I spent quite a bit of time reading the Maven documentation as well as
trying my luck on Google, so hopefully I didn't miss something easy or
obvious.
For the usual reasons of governance, security, etc we use an internal maven
repository for our builds (Artifactory). In the settings.xml file under
/conf we have defined two profiles: one that lists a variety of repositories
in the external world (id=external-repos) and one that only defines our
internal repository (id=internal-repos). The internal-repos is set as
active, but external-repos is available via the -P from command line if we
need to look external to bring artifacts down locally for things such as
version upgrades.
Noticed running help:effective-pom that the maven super pom brings in
repo1.maven.org/maven2 and I suspect that poms from third party dependencies
might also specify external repos that get referenced during builds. I did
some browsing and came across the topic of specifying a mirror in the
settings.xml file where one could redirect everything to an internal repo
such as
<mirror>
<id>internal-repository-mirror</id>
<name>Internal Maven Repository Mirror Site</name>
<url>http://some.internal.url</url>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
That sounded exactly like what I needed except it seems to be global
regardless of the profile and I don't want to have to comment it out all the
time on the occasions I do need to point to an external repo.
I fooled around with trying to use a property for mirrorOf based on the
active profile such as what follows but that didn't seem to work:
<mirror>
<id>internal-repository-mirror</id>
<name>Internal Maven Repository Mirror Site</name>
<url>http://some.internal.url</url>
<mirrorOf>${repo.mirror}</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
<profile>
<id>external-repos</id>
<properties>
<repo.mirror>internal</repo.mirror>
</properties>
<repositories>
....
</repositories>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>internal-repos</id>
<properties>
<repo.mirror>*</repo.mirror>
</properties>
<repositories>
....
</repositories>
</profile>
So my question is, does Maven allow for any kind of dynamic mirror
configuration or is there some way to accomplish what I need, which is if
I'm using a profile for internal only all sites mirror to the internal repo
and if I'm using the profile for external allowed, I bypass the mirror all
rule so I can reach the external repos?
Saw an existing JIRA that I believe is related -
http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-3525 - but wondering if anyone has been
able to work around the lack of mirrors in profiles.
We're currently using Maven 2.0.5, although we need to migrate to a newer
version.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
