Thanks for the quick reply Wayne. Although I'm still having trouble getting the <mirrorOf> setting to work, I have the more important piece working where m2 is using the networked repo for project dependencies. I suppose it's not too bad (at least in my environment) to let m2 get its own plugins from ibiblio.
BTW, the book has already proven to be an invaluable resource! Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Wayne Fay [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 27, 2006 2:48 PM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: M2 still downloads plugins from repo1.maven.org even with internal plugin repository Two issues: 1. The settings you have specified in your pom will *not* prevent Maven from going out to ibiblio to look for plugins. 2. You cannot simply copy the folders and expect it to work. There is additional metadata stored in files in a real Maven Repository. I think the forthcoming MRM "tool" will help with this, but not sure. This is a common topic on the Maven User list. Please search the User archives for "mirror" or "proxy" to find *tons* of discussion with examples etc for configuring things, depending on how you want to go about it... not everyone will want to set up a Maven Proxy, for example. But if you override central with a mirrorOf entry, then Maven will never go out to Central to find files, so if you add a new dependency in your pom, you'll also need to download and install it into your Repository before your build will succeed. Also, this might be covered in the Mergere Maven book (free), not sure, haven't looked at the final version yet: http://library.mergere.com/ Even if its not, you should get the book and refer to it as you work with your Maven builds.
