M2 How to populate internal repository?

[Chris Helck <Ch...@us.icap.com>]

I need to populate an inhouse repository so it can act as a stand alone
repository. It needs to include the standard maven plugins. I don't want
to rsync Ibiblio.

I've tried using the assembly plugin to create a repository but it does
not include the plugins. 

What should I do?

Thanks,
C. Helck

You don't mention a reason for not wanting to rsync ibiblio.  Size?
Security? Governance?

If it's just that you don't want the whole thing, you can use one of
the repository managers to proxy the central repository, establishing
an internal cache of the artifacts you use.  Archiva, Artifactory and
Proximity are examples.

I'm fairly sure there is a tool somewhere that will "convert" a local
repository into a remote one.  (The metadata is different.)

Otherwise, let us know more about your requirements.

if you're using linux then here's some shell scripts that can quickly
convert your local repository into a shared or mirrored repository:

once converted, the repository can of course be used cross-platform
these scripts aren't supported and come with the usual disclaimers :)
