Hi all, We have a project setup that uses a 'root' pom for specifying things like the source directory/plugins used in the build process etc. This pom file has been uploaded to our local maven repository. This local maven repository is available through the maven proxy which is specified in the ~/.m2/settings.xml file. The problem starts when the 'root' pom is not available then it somehow doesn't pickup the settings.xml file to use the proxy.
So I figuered people need to install or download the pom.xml file from the cvs repository manually and all things go well. The problem then exists that whenever the pom file is available you'll need to keep it up to date yourself. Is there something I am missing here so that people do not need to have the 'root' pom and still the settings.xml file is used to find the proxy? Our file sturcture: pom.xml /plugins/pom.xml plugins/theplugin/pom.xml client/pom.xml all poms available depend on the pom specified in the parent directory by specifying something like: <parent> <groupId>company</groupId> <artifactId>company</artifactId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> -Roy
