True, it is "just a file". It was actually my first idea, before I emailed this list. But though it's "just a file", it's a file I'd have to keep editing every time I updated maven. It's likewise a file everyone else on the team needs to be taught to edit every time they update maven.
Fun fact: the way I discovered this issue is via an accidental maven update. I was using the maven bundled with my IDE. I then updated my IDE. The release "highlights" page for the IDE did not even mention it comes bundled with a new maven version. So, another way to describe editing this file is "maintaining our own private fork of maven". As far as forks go, it's a pretty mild one. It doesn't require us to compile maven from source, or anything scary like that. But it's still a fork. And it's still annoying. I'm looking for something more like this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/67001968/how-to-disable-maven-blocking-external-http-repositores/68394404#68394404 (in fact, maybe that's exactly what I'm looking for.) _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ This message is for information purposes only, it is not a recommendation, advice, offer or solicitation to buy or sell a product or service nor an official confirmation of any transaction.
