Is there a way to control the order of repositories?
Hi,
We use multiple maven repos in the build. Is there a way to control the order of the repositories to be searched for artifacts? In some cases, an arifact is published to both maven1 and maven2 repos and we prefer to use the one from the maven2 repo.
Thanks,
Raymond

Hi Andre,
I suppose I could just use Mergere's repository but how is it
different from others?
For example, does their DNS server automatically direct me to a nearby
server based on my IP...? Or is it just generally faster than, say,
the iBiblio servers?

Can you not just use: http://repo.mergere.com/maven2/ ?

Hi Wayne,
I suppose using a local "proxy" repository would do the trick if I
were always in the same place. However, I rarely work in the same
place for longer than a few weeks, which means that the proxy
repository should move with me :)

I think most of this functionality can/should be handled with a
Corporate Maven proxy rather than depending on Maven to provide it
directly.
In fact, I think a bit of this functionality might already exist in
Archiva, Proximity, etc -- have you considered them?

Please excuse me for hijacking the thread, but I've got another reason
for wanting to "order" repositories.
Speed.
Let's say there's a repository in the office building next to me,
which is a gazillion times as fast as an "official" one on the other
side of the globe. Now, let's also say that the nearby repository is
slow to synchronize with the far-away official repository.
What this means is that I'd like Maven to first check if the nearby
(fast) repository has the stuff I need and only then fall back to the
slower repository.
Lasse
PS. Another related problem: I'm currently sitting in Finland. Next
week, I'll be in Poland. A couple of weeks later somewhere else. If
there was a way to set a "preferred order" for the repositories, I'd
anyway have to change it quite often as I'm travelling. Unless...
[begin smoking the proverbial crack]
Maybe Maven could do a daily benchmark--a ping of some kind--against
each repository, measuring the latency and reordering them
accordingly, storing the measured latencies under "$HOME/.m2"?

Good day,
Yes allan, you are correct. A binary with a certain artifact key (
groupId:artifactId:version ) should be the same no matter from what
repository it came from.
If you have binaries with the same same artifact key, you may want to rename
one of them ( i.e. by changing the version ).
Cheers,
Franz
