Hi,
We need to override the Maven Central Repository and maintain a local
network repository. This has worked fine, up until now, with a <mirror>
setting in the maven settings.xml
<settings>
...
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>mirror-maven-central</id>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
<name>Local Override for The Maven Central Repository</name>
<url>file:///\\AUBNVRAT03\repository\</url> <!-- Yes this works
it's how you define a file based repo -->
</mirror>
</mirrors>
...
</settings>
When building a project I noticed that mysteriously Maven was
downloading jibx jars from http://jibx.sf.net/maven Despite the fact
that our network does not allow outbound http traffic and the local
settings.xml file not defining any proxies!
On further investigation and debugging I found that the
xfire-jibx-1.2.4.pom in my corporate repository defines a repository
with an id of jibx.sf.net and the rouge url of http://jibx.sf.net/maven
as a workaround I have created another mirror definition that overrides
this repo id and points at my corporate repository.
<mirror>
<id>mirror-jibx.sf.net</id>
<mirrorOf>jibx.sf.net</mirrorOf>
<name>Local Override for Jibx</name>
<url>file:///\\AUBNVRAT03\repository\</url>
</mirror>
This stops it downloading from a remote source in this case.
The questions are: How on earth Maven is picking up proxy settings from
the underlying system is still a mystery. I certainly can't browse to
this repository when I use a Browser with no proxy configured?!
Surely this is not desired behaviour, how can I be sure that Maven won't
go sucking jars off the Internet when I don't want it to?
