Hi Gus We seriously considered trying to implement the type of controls you talked about, but there are literally thousands of files you would have to manually install once you figure out what they all are.
What we ended up doing was using the mirroOf feature in settings.xml and allow artifactory to download what it needed and keep it forever. We ran each of the standard mvn commands (and some others) that developers use, in order to populate our artifactory. Once we had all the necessary 3rd party bits & pieces we required, we configured artifactorys 'global offline' mode. Subsequently new jars or new versions of jars are only added manually after approval. Prior to working like this we got burned (once) when an artifact we required (a dependency of a dependency) was missing when we were trying to do a release. That was a bad day we will not ever repeat. -Gord --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
