You need to define it in your settings.xml as a mirror in your
settings.xml and place a repository in an active profile as per the
example below (note the three slashes in the file url:
<settings>
...
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>mirror-maven-central</id>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
<name>Local Override for The Maven Central Repository</name>
<url>file:///E:\repository1\</url> <!-- Yes this works it's how
you define a file based repo -->
</mirror>
</mirrors>
...
<profile>
<id>myProfile</id>
<repositories>
<repository>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<updatePolicy/>
<checksumPolicy>ignore</checksumPolicy>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<updatePolicy/>
<checksumPolicy>ignore</checksumPolicy>
</snapshots>
<id>my-central</id>
<name>Maven Repository
Switchboard</name>
<url>file:///E:\repository1\</url>
<layout>default</layout>
</repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<releases>
<updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>my-central</id>
<name>Maven Plugin Repository</name>
<url>file:///E:\repository1\</url>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
</profile>
</profiles>
<activeProfiles>
<activeProfile>myProfile</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
</settings
