RE: [m2] best way to have an offline internal repository
Hi Tamás, Thanks for the info. That's most likely the best solution so far. I think I'll go with this one.

So, you can use proximity to "grab" remote reposes with needed artifacts and metadatas (as I described before) and M2 can use it's cache directly. Simply redirect M2 to use local FS with proximity cache content as remote repo. Proximity is needed for preparation only (made by you), a good settings.xml is needed for this to work on client side (others doing offline compile). Altough, i'm not sure is this the "right way to go" from M2 aspect, but it could solve the problem :) ~t~ On 5/30/07, Dário Luís Coneglian Oliveros <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Tamás, > > That would definitely be an option.

Hi, proximity holds it's cache in UNMODIFIED "M2 remote repository format".

Hi Tamás, That would definitely be an option. But still you have to ask a final user to fire up the proximity server in order to build a simple project, unless proximixity does not need to be up and running.

In the Apache JAMES project we wanted to use a local repository for
direct dependencies (not for plugin dependencies) so that an offline
build is possible when plugins are available.
We defined a "local" profile in our parent pom disabling all repositories:
local
central
http://repo1.maven.org/maven2
false
false
apache.releases
Apache Main M2 Repository
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository
false
false
apache.snapshots
Apache Snapshot Repository
http://people.apache.org/repo/m2-snapshot-repository
false
false
Then in the project pom we define a local repository:
local-mime4j-stage-repository
Local mime4j stage repository
file://${basedir}/stage
legacy
true
ignore
true
ignore
and we created a "stage" folder in our sourcetree including a "legacy
style" repository:
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/mime4j/trunk/stage/
this way the mvn -Plocal takes the dependencies from the stage folder
and does not lookup remote repositories.
The use of ${basedir} in the url of a repository have 2 issues:
1) when maven lookups for the parent pom the ${basedir} is not yet
resolved (or at least maven is ignoring that repository anyway).
2) when you have a reactor build every module will search in its own
stage folder and not in the stage folder for the parent pom.
To solve 1 I run the install-file for the parent pom (like I wrote in
the comments above.
To solve 2 I add also a file://${basedir}/../stage to module
repositories so they look in the parent stage folder.
I know they are hacks, but until maven won't provide a good solution for
selfcontained/offline builds we opted for this solution.

RE: [m2] best way to have an offline internal repository
Thanks for the reply. As a matter of fact packaging is not really my problem. Assembly plug-in would definitely do that work. What I am trying to do is to create an offline environment where a user could compile a maven project without having to search for artifacts on either internet or intranet. So I was thinking of packaging a repo together with my maven project and as far as I know I would have to convert a local repo to a remote one if I wanted to use this repo as if it were a mirror of central (please see thread "[M2] Howto Set Up Quickly an Offline Internal Repository?" for more info). Any thoughts ?
