I built our shared repo based on my local repo. You just need to rename the maven-metadata-central.xml files to maven-metadata.xml I think. The command 'wget -nd -r -l 1 <URL>' is also very handy to scrape a directory from central.
We will probably use maven-proxy next time. -----Original Message----- From: ArneD [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 29, 2006 1:40 AM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Internal plugin repository - how to populate? In many corporate environments it is unacceptable to let users download Maven plugins automatically and directly from the Internet (even not through a proxy). Therefore, it is necessary to set up an internal plugin repository. Question: Is there an easy way how to initially populate the internal repository with all the maven plugins needed? I considered the following ways: 1. mvn deploy:deploy-file for all the plugin jars. Problem: This seems to be a rather inconvenient approach with lots of manual work. 2. First popule a local repository by running all desired Maven goals, and then copy the local repository contents to the internal remote repository. Problem: As far as I understood, this wouldn't work, because a remote repository contains some extra XML definition files, that are not available in the local repository. Any other ideas?
