Nexus and my project pom.xml.
Hi folks,
I'm setting up Nexus. No issues there. That's all been very easy and
straightforward. However, I have learned tonight that to make good use
of it, I really need to configure my Maven installation to think of it
as a mirror. This involves editing the ~/.m2/settings.xml file. That's
all well and good, but isn't there a way to get a project pom.xml to do
the same thing? I can already hear the grumbling of developers when I
tell them that they all have to make a change to their settings.xml. It
would be much easier if I can just configure the project.
Am I just out of luck on this point?
Thanks,
Dave

It works just fine, with the caveats and practice you mentioned. It should
be obvious that the location of central cannot be overridden before you have
the pom. I'd say that in a typical corporate environment you want to do
both: override central in your company pom and use your own team's proxy
server as a mirror.

This doesn't work very well in practice. In order to avoid having to put
this in every single pom, you would want to put it in a common parent or
corporate pom. If you're building on a clean system, it needs to find
the repo to find the parent which will tell it where the repo
is...chicken or egg. So you really just want it in your settings to
avoid all kinds of issues down the road (like if you move your repo
later suddenly you can't build old projects)

And you *can* do this in a project pom.xml; you can override "central"
and
"snapshots" to point to your internal proxy repo.

Thanks for the feedback, Brian. I was actually just coming to that
realization minutes ago. I guess I was being a bit on the blonde side
before. It finally dawned on me that there are some definite advantages
to setting the mirror up outside the scope of the project.

The only way to configure a mirror is with the settings.xml. But you can
rest assured that once you get all the developers to update their
settings, you won't need to have them do it again since you'll be able
to add repositories directly to Nexus and they won't have to do anything
on their side.
