JAR file downloading blocked
Hi all,
I work at a large company with a Maven 1(!) setup. The team I work in
wanted to set up a nice environment with Maven 2, Hudson and Nexus but
as it turns out JAR file downloading is blocked by the firewall. Is
there any way to work around this?
The only solutions I can think of are (a) a sneaker net where we run
Maven at home and then copy the resulting Maven local repository into
our repository manager or (b) we somehow set up a tunnel to a server
outside the firewall that then can be used to do the actual
downloading. Option "a" would work but would be a serious PITA and
option "b" is too complicated. (Well, I guess there's an option "c":
work with Maven 1...)
Does anyone have a better idea?
Cheers,
Hilco
P.S. Obviously, getting the company to upgrade to Maven 2 is a no-go.

repo1.maven.org blocks requests from wget. That's not a good test.

What you should do is set up Nexus to proxy central (repo1.maven.org). Then
configure your maven clients to use the nexus instance instead of going
directly to central (or any public mirror). There different ways of doing
this, at least one is outlined in the Nexus book by Sonatype. Have a look
there.

That feels too much like fighting windmills. :-)

Actually, as it turns out things are not as clear-cut as I initially thought.
wget http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven/jetty/jars/jetty-4.2.10.jar
---> works
wget http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/jetty/jetty/4.2.10/jetty-4.2.10.jar
---> does not work
So I also tried
wget http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/jetty/jetty/4.2.10/jetty-4.2.10.jar
and, guess what: that works!
So I've added iBiblio as a mirror of Central and it all works. Eat
that, firewall! ;-)

There are a number of Maven users on this list (mostly military?) who
have run into similar problems.
The easiest solution is the sneakernet option you proposed. Bear in
mind that you are defeating the entire purpose of the firewall (at
least in the minds of the people who put that rule in place) and as
such are probably violating various policies etc that may result in
job losses down the road. You really should try to resolve this
problem with the responsible teams -- surely there is a process in
place to allow whitelisting of sites etc, or perhaps they should
reconsider the Jar blocking policy entirely?
