Sharing my Maven repository
Hey,
My laptop is loaded with a respectful local Maven repository, is it possible
to share it with my friends?
I mean does copy and past the folder serve the purpose?
Thanks.

Also having to rely on a single local repo as the master is going to
burn you eventually. You also won't be able to do the best practices
mentioned here[1] like have separate repos and cleaning the repo out
nightly.

Well, actually no. Only if you want to explicitly validate each artifact
you
want to be used or only YOUR artifacts. The rest (public opensource
jars...)
will be downloaded by the MRM like a classical web cache server does.
"I've always got away with existing public repositories."
Which is quite acceptable when developing as an individual and just
trying
things. But when behind say a continuous integration server, it becomes
dangerous since network problems could directly affect your builds.
Having a
mrm will permit your CI to run just fine even if some repo (or the whole
Internet access) becomes temporarily unavailable. And I don't even
insist on
performances: downloading locally will obviously run an order of
magnitude
faster than accessing public repositories.
Cheers.

when you think of local repository, think of it as a cache of various
remote repositories only.
you should probably install a repository manager and start uploading
artifacts there that are necessary for your projects. In the way that
the repository manager supports.. not sure what that is exactly, I've
always got away with existing public repositories.

I want to copy/upload/transfer (not sure what is right) my local Maven
repository to out Continuous Integration server.
Not sure what is the best practice for this? Do I have to use a tool like
Apache Archiva?
Sorry, I'm new to Maven
Thanks again.

Well, yes you could copy it to other development machine. But it's not the
best way to do it. You should install and configure a maven repository
manager (See http://maven.apache.org/repository-management.html).
Some of those tools have even the ability to scan a local repository like
the one you have to transform it (i.e. add the right metadata) to make it a
remote repository.
Cheers.
