I have to setup maven environment where cannot access central repository
(only LAN)
So, I'm tring download maven repository and configure mirror site for
development team.
I found some article like this.

ftp://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/packages/maven2*

According to avobe article, I try ftp access.

But...

Do you know account and password?

Is it possible to use maven on cannot access central?

How can I get full repository (6GB)?

rsync on cygwin

[Sang-Jea Shin]

My platform is Windows XP Professional.
After install cygwin, I'm trying rsync like this.
-

[EMAIL PROTECTED] /maven2
$ rsync -v -t -l -r mirrors.ibiblio.org::maven2 /maven2
  -
  Welcome to the ibiblio.org mirrored software server!
  Note that the 'gnuwww' module was recently removed
  per discussion with the volunteers running gnu.org.
  Please go there if you wish to continue mirroring
  their web site.  In its stead we are now offering
  the GNU Alpha archive.
  -

receiving file list ...

But nothing changed, just waiting.
Should I wait more? Or Is it impossible rsync on cygwin?

Re: What does SNAPSHOT means?

Thanks for good advice. :-)

It seems like alpha or nightly build version, right?

Hi there..

Glad to see that you're starting with maven..

A SNAPSHOT version defines work in progress.

It's good practice to use a version like 1.0-SNAPSHOT when you've net
yet
reached the 1.0 milestone release.
As soon as you've reached your milestone and released a 1.0 version, you
start working on version 1.1-SNAPSHOT for example..
When you see a POM or artifact with SNAPSHOT in its version, you know
it's
work in progress and the build results might not be reproducible.

If you stick with this versioning pattern maven will check all your
dependencies and alert you when you have SNAPSHOT dependencies before
allowing a release to succeed.
This is again to prevent unreproducible builds..

If you want to learn more about maven, check the website's documentation
and
mergere.com's Better Builds With Maven ebook which is full of tips to
get
you on your way quickly..

Good luck
Jo

 I'm a beginner for maven.
 I tried first example.

 mvn archetype:create -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app

 It works, displayed like this.

 
 [INFO]



 [INFO] Using following parameters for creating Archetype:
 maven-archetype-quickstart:RELEASE

 [INFO] Parameter: groupId, Value: com.mycompany.app

 But I don't know what does SNAPSHOT means on version part.

 What is SNAPSHOT?
