Preventing Maven from downloading certain versions from external repositories
Hi,
In a current project, by convention, we use 1.0-LOCAL-SNAPSHOT as the
default version for local builds, producing official builds only through
our CI server. This works well but during local builds, Maven will
needlessly look for these versions in external repositories, slowing the
build down.
Is there a way to configure Maven never to look for specific versions
outside the local .m2 cache to avoid this slowdown?
Regards,
Kristian

Maven has a fair number of conventions that are respected by a lot of its code. Trying to work against those conventions is likely to cause problems for you. Maybe if you explain what your goal is, we can suggest a more Maven-like way of accomplishing the same thing.

If the LOCAL-SNAPSHOT modules are all part of the same reactor, Maven
shouldn't try to resolve them remotely. So I am assuming you have multiple
codebases with inter-codebase dependencies? In that case, you could create
another multi-module POM at the very top level, putting each codebase in a
subdirectory, then build all projects as part of the same reactor. The
LOCAL-SNAPSHOT dependency couplings should all get resolved from the
reactor then.

Curtis

Hi,
I use xxx-LOCAL for this kind of thing, since they are not considered as
snapshots, maven won't try everyday to download a new local version.

Are you at least proxying the external Maven repos through your own
repo. That will speed things up.

Unfortunately we also have other internal libraries on SNAPSHOT versions
that do need to be retrieved from the repository, so going offline
completely is not an option.

Sure. Build in offline mode:
mvn install -o
It may not work everytime, but maven will complain loud enough, if it can't
find an artifact in your local repo.
