Hi there, some people recommend to use a mirror for maven. Others are required to as their IP address has been blacklisted so they can not reach central (repo1.maven.org) anymore.
>From what I know mirrors are listed here: http://docs.codehaus.org/display/MAVENUSER/Mirrors+Repositories My feedback on this: 1. http://ftp.cica.es/mirrors/maven2 last_updated.txt: Sat Jan 9 20:15:40 CST 2010 That is pretty outdated... 2. http://repo1.sonatype.net/maven2 Does not work. I get always get 404. 3. http://repo.exist.com/maven2/ last_updated.txt: Tue Nov 23 22:30:45 CST 2010 Not up-to-date... 4. http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2 last_updated.txt: Tue Nov 30 22:54:22 CST 2010 Not really up-to-date... 5. http://www.ibiblio.net/pub/packages/maven2 Is always redirecting to http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2 6. http://mirrors.redv.com/maven2 I get 403 - maybe only visible in china... 7. http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/maven Does not work. I get always get 404. 8. http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/maven2 Does not work. I get always get 404. 9. http://mirror.netcologne.de/maven2 last_updated.txt: Tue Nov 30 22:54:22 CST 2010 Not really up-to-date... I do not know what you actually expect from a mirror, but in other universes (e.g. linux) a real mirror is usually never older than 2 days. Of course nobody owns the maven community anything and everybody can start his own mirror. However banning people from central in this case seems to be a hard punishment and there should be some process to get out of this again. I can perfectly access central but I have some friends that have been blacklisted. If someone can confirm the errors with the mirrors sending 404, we can at least remove them from the wiki page. Maybe also the sync of the outdated mirrors has been broken for some reason and someone can check this.
