Hi, I have a setup with many users (200 students), each of them having a limited $HOME. I'm looking for a way to provide them the most common plugins and dependencies and save disk space.
Is there a way to have a system-wide (e.g. /usr/share/maven/... or so) repository, where the sysadmin could download stuff that the students wouldn't have to download and store in their $HOME ? I found many solutions using a proxy, that would allow me to download from the intranet, but these solutions still require a local repository in $HOME/.m2/, so this saves bandwidth but not disk space. I also saw some people advising to set localRepository in their pom.xml, but this does not seem to be a good idea (not thread-safe), and doesn't really solve my issue, as I would like the system-wide repository to be read-only (managed by root only), and to come in addition to $HOME/.m2/, not as a replacement.
