[mojo-dev] [jira] (MNBMODULE-138) Support *.external entries in NBMs

[Jesse Glick (JIRA)]

Jesse Glick commented on MNBMODULE-138 Support *.external entries in NBMs Regarding use of *-mirrors masking central: indeed this does break trackedInCentral. Still I think it is better to have this feature work when you are not using such a mirror than not to work at all. I am not sure if it possible for the plugin to automatically detect whether an artifact retrieved via mirror is in fact available in Central or not, so perhaps follow this algorithm: 1. If a plugin configuration element claims this artifact is in Central, then create the *.external; if it claims it is not, do not. 2. Otherwise (no such configuration) if _maven.repositories exists and says >central then create but issue a warning recommending the configuration in #1. 3. Otherwise (using Maven 2, or claims to be in another repo) try to make an online connection to Central to check for existence of this artifact; if present, create but again issue a warning. 4. Otherwise (not in Central, or offline or cannot reach Central) do not create but issue a warning.
