Thanks for the feedback Wayne! Appreciate if you could post alternatives
also.
With that in place pointer comes to two options
1. Use local file system exposed on http/ftp.
Once the artifacts are downloaded onto the central machine the same
can be
exposed on http/ftp. Developers can use this as remote repository. In
this case
they will just have to add a mirror element for central repository.
For example
following element has to be added under <settings><mirrors> element
in
<MAVEN_INSTALL_DIR>/conf/settings.xml file
<mirror>
<id>mylocalrepo</id>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
<name>mylocalrepo</name>
<url>http://local-repo-host-name/m2</url>
</mirror>
2. Use any repository manager apps
This takes a little bit of time as you have to go through setting up
the manager app.
But that is well compensated by the features that you will get.
