A nice circle: parent pom in remote repository
Hi,
I've got a nice puzzle. We are making a corporate pom file with some
defaults for plugins and the stuff. Also our inhouse repository is
mentioned in there as well as our inhouse snapshot repository.
So when we have a project which has as parent this pom, we don't have to
configure all that stuff anymore. All nice and set, I've been testing
with this setup and it worked fine. Now my colleague wants to test and
check out our project, runs mvn install and maven starts complaining
that it could not find the parent project. Hmm, I've got a nice circle,
I'm looking for my parent, without the repository configuration, because
that's in my parent.
Is there a way to solve this? I thought about a profile in the
settings.xml or profiles.xml, but then you still have to change the
value everywhere when your repository changes url.
Hope someone has any experience with this.
With regards,
Nick Stolwijk

A related problem can occur when trying to use archetypes from your repo -
can't wait until archetypeng fixes this. Because of a defect in the
archetype-plugin, you'll need to use the
-DremoteRepositories=http://mycompany.com in order to find them in your
repo.

We document the settings.xml file in our wiki.
For almost everyone, it boils down to cut-and-paste into settings.xml.
For those that deploy they need to understand the file format better
so they can create server with key file definitions. And for those few
people who patch maven plugins they may need some additional
repository definitions for snapshot repos, but they should know what
they are doing anyway.

Our current repository is Proximity, which won't be releasing a stable
version, so we are looking to archiva and artifactory. When we change
that, our current url (http://mail.companyname.com/proximity) won't make
much sense. :) Also, we are looking for new IT staff. When we have that,
maybe we can finally be rid of the stupid ( ;-) )
mail.companyname.com/application and instead go to
application.companyname.com. So at the moment, we have two future url
changes.
For now, I add a page to the corporate pom documentation which says you
have to add the profile to your settings.xml.
Thanks,

We put internal repositories in settings.xml -- in fact we repackage
Maven with that custom settings.xml and distribute it internally.
How often do your repo urls change? (And why?)

settings.xml is the way to go... set up a specific url and domain so you can
change it without changing the settings.xml later on

We have the same pb. And the only easiest solution we found is to
declare inhouse repositories in pom.xml of each project, not in the
common corporate one. Like this, new checkouts are ready to go, without
configuring settings.xml
