I think most of this functionality can/should be handled with a Corporate Maven proxy rather than depending on Maven to provide it directly.
In fact, I think a bit of this functionality might already exist in Archiva, Proximity, etc -- have you considered them? Wayne On 1/17/07, Lasse Koskela <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

In some cases, an arifact is published to both maven1 and maven2 repos and we prefer to use the one from the maven2 repo. Please excuse me for hijacking the thread, but I've got another reason for wanting to "order" repositories. Speed. Let's say there's a repository in the office building next to me, which is a gazillion times as fast as an "official" one on the other side of the globe. Now, let's also say that the nearby repository is slow to synchronize with the far-away official repository. What this means is that I'd like Maven to first check if the nearby (fast) repository has the stuff I need and only then fall back to the slower repository. Lasse PS. Another related problem: I'm currently sitting in Finland. Next week, I'll be in Poland. A couple of weeks later somewhere else. If there was a way to set a "preferred order" for the repositories, I'd anyway have to change it quite often as I'm travelling. Unless... [begin smoking the proverbial crack] Maybe Maven could do a daily benchmark--a ping of some kind--against each repository, measuring the latency and reordering them accordingly, storing the measured latencies under "$HOME/.m2"? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
