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.

Thanks in advance,
