Re: Simple question I think - how can I default to local repo if connection to internal repository is down?

[Baptiste MATHUS <ml...@batmat.net>]

Hi Rick,

If you're using an internal repository, you should not define other
repositories inside your settings.xml. You really better want to do this
configuration inside your internal maven repository manager. This might be
one of the causes of your problems.

But also note that you're right: maven has an local repository (see it as a
cache) from where the jars will be used if they're already present. So, if
you're encountering problems building although no dependency was changed and
the jars were previously downloaded, you should report here more precisely
the error you have so that we can help you.

Cheers.
