> <mirrorOf>* is a helpful way to ensure maven doesn't get artifacts from the Internet in a corporate environment where we want all artifacts to be managed & backed-up.
> Usefull but limited, as this requires the mirror repository to proxy ALL repositories, beeing snapshots or not.
> Using the repository ID to build the mirror URL can make things cleaner :
> <mirror>
>          <id>*</id>
>          <url>http://mymirror/archiva/repository/{0}</url>
>          <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
> </mirror>
> With such a configuration, users can setup dedicated managed repository for any public repository they want to mirror. Using archiva  makes this use case simple.
