local repository problem
Hi,
My problem is this.
I want my maven project to take the artifacts only from the local repository.
The first mvn run is a regular one so that all artifact could be downloaded to the local repository.
The second run is with flag -o (maven offline) . and it is in fact works - maven uses only the cache.
So in that case it's logical to think that if running offline, I can REMOVE the repository name from my main pom (since all the artifact are cached).
BUT the minute I do that (and still running with flag -o) maven throws this at me:
Unable to find artifact. The repository system is offline but the artifact <some artifact> is not available in the local repository.
and of course the artifact is there. When I return back the repository name to the pom, again it works.
So why do I need the repository name in the pom if running offline?
Thanks for the help.

You can cheat to get around this, use at your own risk
# find ~/.m2/repository/ -name _maven.repositories -delete
I do this all the time because i swap my settings.xml to my company's
mirrior-all nexus and then back to normal one without mirrors for open
source projects etc.
Or like, if you want to get at a dependency that is not yet in the mirror
to have a quick look if it does want you want, but need
internal artifact to do the test, you would remove mirror-all from the
settings.xml, so you can download the new thing, but then you can't use any
internal artifacts, so you just run the cheat, and voila do your
evaluation. Beats messing around with jar files and manual classpaths

Ok. The simple solution would be to make this repo with your artifacts
available to him. Either through Internet access or by having him getting
access via a citrix client or similar (over VPN). This solution will solve
all future issues you will run into w/t having access to your internal
artifacts.
Other possible, but painful, solutions include:
* Create a zip will all artifacts and poms that also include a script that
install them to his/her local repo.
* Create a zip with the artifacts and poms in a maven 2 repo structure.
He/she could then host these locally and point his Maven environment to
this repo.
Just understand that these solution will bring you lots of work keeping his
environment in sync with your internal one.

RE: local repository problem
Posted by "Levin, Ilya" <il...@hp.com>.
Thanks for the reply, I should explain what I'm doing.
When I run my project in the company network I have access to all the artifacts we create in our repository.
When somebody OUTSIDE the company network runs the project he doesn’t have this privilege.
Now, Since most of the artifacts we use are stable and doesn’t change, I want him to copy them to his
Local repository, so that when he is running maven, it will uses this (now "local")artifacts and central maven repository for other
Artifacts he may use (3rd party etc...)
Again thanks.

First of all, could you enlighten us why you're doing what you're doing? It looks to me that your just making things difficult which will get you into trouble. Maven is designed to work with repositories. If you don't like that then Maven is probably not the tool for you.
Secondly, you can never remove all the repos from your build. The super-pom declares central as a repo and you can't remove that. So, there will always be at least one repo declared.
To answer the question about the error you run into I believe it is because Maven 3.0.x keeps track of where an artifact has been downloaded from. So if you remove the repo, this might not match although the artifact *file* actually does exist in the local repo.
But please, rethink your approach as you, IMHO, are looking for problems.

First of all, could you enlighten us why you're doing what you're doing? It
looks to me that your just making things difficult which will get you into
trouble. Maven is designed to work with repositories. If you don't like
that then Maven is probably not the tool for you.
Secondly, you can never remove all the repos from your build. The super-pom
declares central as a repo and you can't remove that. So, there will always
be at least one repo declared.
To answer the question about the error you run into I believe it is because
Maven 3.0.x keeps track of where an artifact has been downloaded from. So
if you remove the repo, this might not match although the artifact *file*
actually does exist in the local repo.
But please, rethink your approach as you, IMHO, are looking for problems.
