for a local mirror of ibiblio, it is recommended to use the "mirrors" element in settings.xml. This means any project trying to use "central" will use that mirror first *instead*. Adding a new repository means both are checked. for information common to all projects, we recommend using an organisation-wide parent POM that declares all the information. Of course, this is a chicken and egg problem - you need the repository to define the repository. The advantages to this are still: - if you want to change the repository location you only need to update that pom, not individual users computers (they get the new pom from the old repository, and that is used for the new definition) - you can share standard settings - organisation information, plugin configuration, source layout, among all projects. - Brett --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
