M2: Need help with central repositories, and mirrors
Hi,
How can I redefine the central repository for specific profiles? I have
three profiles defined in my settings.xml: dev, qa, and cert. I want the
"dev" profile to use the default central repository, but I want the "qa"
and "cert" profiles to use specific (but different) in-house URLs. From
what I've read the preferred way of overriding the central repository is
to redirect it via the <mirror> tag in settings.xml. But I can't use
<mirrors/> at the <profile/> level, it only goes under <settings/>, so
the mirror ends up being a global redirect instead of a profile specific
redirect.
Should I disable central completely:
<mirror>
<id>Null Central</id>
<name>Null</name>
<url/>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
And add http://repo1.maven.org/maven under a different repo id? The in
each <profile> I could define something lilke:
<repository>
<id>my-central</id>
...
</repository>
BTW: I'm using maven 2.0.4 on Ubuntu.
Thanks,
Christopher Helck

In theory yes. In practice it's not that simple. Even if they look
similar a local and remote repository are different things. A remote
repository has additional metadata that is missing in a local
repository. See here [1] for example.
To get a valid remote repository you have to deploy your artifacts to it
(see below for instruction).
Coincidently someone posted just today in this thread [6] a link to a
shell script that converts a local to a remote repository. You may want
to have a look at it.

As you use the install (for existing projects) or install-file (for
3rd-party jars) mojos to install artifacts to a local repository you use
the deploy respectivly deploy-file mojos for remote repositories. See
[2], [3] and [4], [5] for instructions.

I'd like to piggy back on this thread, since my question is just drilling
down further.
So, if I say have the following profile in my mvn home settings.xml:
<profile>
<id>myRepository</id>
<activation>
<jdk>1.4</jdk>
</activation>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>myRepository</id>
<name>Repository for myRepository builds</name>
<url>http://www.myhost.com/maven/myRepository</url>
<layout>default</layout>
<snapshotPolicy>always</snapshotPolicy>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
And then I put in the apache html directory my entire directory structure
and files currently under my local repository under the apache html
directory like so:
/var/www/html/maven/myRepository
Then I now will be getting everything from that repository instead of my
local repository, true?
And how would I install new jars in the repository as they are needed, by a
simple copy, or could I then use the install command to get it to the
remote repository?
Thanks,
John

Additionally you need to keep in mind to use different local
repositories as well when using the different profiles on the same
machine. Else the artifacts from the different repositories will be mixed.

Hi,
setting the mirror to an invalid url would certainly work but I imagine
you would get tons of warnings about failed repository accesses since
maven would still try download from the mirror.
What I would do instead is to just overwrite the definition of central
in the qa and cert profiles like this:
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>central</id>
<name>Internal replacement for the central repository</name>
<url>http://bla.com/repository</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>central</id>
<name>Internal replacement for the central repository</name>
<url>http://bla.com/repository</url>
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
