Hi,
Maven 2.0.4
We are trying to prevent any users from accessing the central repository
by providing a controlled internal corporate repository.
I do a build with a vanilla settings.xml add any stuff I need to my
local repository by hand. Then make a network copy of the local
repository delete my local repository and then my troubles start.
Reading a number of posts this should be as simple as creating a
definition in the settings.xml (or in the POM) for repositories
<project>
. . .
<repositories>
<repository>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<updatePolicy/>
<checksumPolicy/>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
<checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
</snapshots>
<id>test</id>
<name>Dialect Central</name>
<url>file:///\\
fileServer01/repository</url>
<layout/>
</repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<updatePolicy/>
<checksumPolicy/>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
<checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
</snapshots>
<id>central</id>
<name>Dialect Central</name>
<url>file:///\\fileServer01/repository</url>
<layout/>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
. . .
</project>
However this does not work Maven seems to get quite confused if it does
not find a real central Repository.
I have tried to get it working by defining a mirror of central
<settings>
. . .
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>mirror-maven-central</id>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
<name>Local Override For Maven Central Repository</name>
<url>file:///\\fileServer01\repository\</url>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
. . .
</settings>
This seems to have problems not finding maven-resources-plugin but it is
there in the network repository (which is just a copy of local) before I
tear all my hair out has anyone else had any similar problems.
