I don't think the original poster was questioning whether or not artifacts should be downloaded from repos defined in settings.xml. But rather artifacts that get deployed do not go in settings.xml. They have to go in the pom. Why do these repos not also go in settings.xml?
I agree with the OP that this is a bit confusing. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason van Zyl [mailto:ja...@sonatype.com] > Sent: Monday, May 03, 2010 11:27 AM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: Re: Why define repositories in settings.xml and pom? > > http://www.sonatype.com/people/2009/02/why-putting-repositorie > s-in-your-poms-is-a-bad-idea/ > > On May 3, 2010, at 4:35 PM, Timothy Mcginnis wrote: > > > I am a confused about where repositories need to be defined. > > > > I have my repositories defined in my settings.xml file under my > > default profile. > > > > <profile> > > <id>default_profile</id> > > <activation> > > <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> > > </activation> > > <repositories> > > <repository> > > <id>archiva.internal</id> > > <name>Internal Release Repository</name> > > <url> > > > http://2e02057b.aessuccess.org:8085/archiva/repository/internal/</url> > > <snapshots> > > <enabled>false</enabled> > > </snapshots> > > <releases> > > <enabled>true</enabled> > > </releases> > > </repository> > > <repository> > > <id>archiva.snapshots</id> > > <name>Internal Snapshot Repository</name> > > <url> > > > http://2e02057b.aessuccess.org:8085/archiva/repository/snapsho > ts/</url> > > <snapshots> > > <enabled>true</enabled> > > </snapshots> > > <releases> > > <enabled>false</enabled> > > </releases> > > </repository> > > </repositories> > > </profile> > > > > I thought this would tell Maven where to store and retrieve all my > > artifacts.
