You have to create Profile for that..
If you will put following entry in your settings.xml file it will first look
at the remote repository and then it will look for your local repository.
Basically you need to create <profile>
<profile>
<id>Repository Proxy</id>
<activation>
<activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
</activation>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>archiva.internal</id>
<url>http://localhost:8080/archiva/repository/internal/
</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
If you will create <mirror> then it will only look for defined repository
only. It will not look for remote in this case.
I hope it helps.
Thanks,
daivish.
