Can anyone clearly detail what I have to do to "point" ibiblio or another mirror instead of codehaus containing these snapshots mvn is attempting to download when I run "mvn site"? Answer the question as if I've no previous experience with maven

Caused by: org.apache.maven.artifact.resolver.ArtifactResolutionException: Error transferring file
  org.apache.maven.doxia:doxia:pom:1.0-alpha-8

from the specified remote repositories:
  central (http://repo1.maven.org/maven2),
  apache.snapshots (http://svn.apache.org/maven-snapshot-repository),
  snapshots (http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2)

Indeed. I was able to do this today in approx 15 minutes and point it to ibiblio. Despite http://maven-proxy.codehaus.org/ also being down. Now we all go via maven-proxy here.
Isnt google cache a lovely thing :-) ?

In hindsight, maven-proxy would of been worth setting up.

Is there anybody who can fix this problem with the repository?  I've
got a bunch of developers in India who have installed m2 and need to
build our company's plugins.  We are losing man-days of work because
of this.

You can't if its the first time you've run maven, anyone trying to
use maven for the first time can't get the proper plugins because
its looking for Snapshots on codehaus. Seems if your going to do a
full release of maven it would be wise to base it on full releases
of the plugins in the mirrors, or at least a full release of maven
and/or any plugin maintained and required by maven should be full
released and often, then this sort of thing wouldn't happen. Look at
Eclipse and the way they organize thier updates into "integration",
"stable" and "release" builds.

For instance, EMF has a interim and stable update sites. This is one
of the reasons I really pushed to have separate snapshot and release
repositories at Apache, "product stability".

p.s. there was a comment I should set up  a mirror or something
crazy like that, it assumes I have some extensive knowledge of
maven, which at this point with maven 2 I don't. While I understand
you guys do allot of development and are focused on new features and
bug fixes, it makes your product look bad to have single points of
failure like this, I'm evaluating maven 2 for a project I'm now
working on, this doesn't bode well in my evaluation.

You can use the -o flag ,
e.g mvn -o install

this will tell maven to work in offline mode and it wont try to
check for updates on the remote repo.

cheers,

beyond our control, sorry. But, since the new plugin releases

comes to a sudden stop, because of the automated update. Please,
make sure for such releases, that all artifacts  are available at
ibiblio (which is at least mirrored).

Who do I to tell maven not to search for updates? Neither -o nor
-npu switches help. All needed plugins
(tomcat-maven-plugin:pom:1.0-
SNAPSHOT)
are located in my local repo.
