I'm trying to do this and came upon this document:
http://maven.apache.org/maven2/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html
It looks like I can just copy the contents of ibiblio outright, or set
up a maven proxy, in order to create my own repository structure. But
what I'd really like to do is get my local repository in a place where
I'm happy with it (everything is downloaded, my stuff builds, etc) and
then make that a remote repository for all. The document above
indicates "The local and remote repositories are structured the same
way..." so it sounds like I could just literally copy my local
repository as my remote repository.
I tried this. I copied my local repository to a web server, set up that
server in settings.xml as a mirror for central, blew away my local repo,
and tried to mvn compile. No dice, plugins could not be found, and as a
side note, mvn -X doesn't actually tell me what URLs it's trying to
download from, which would be helpful:

Looking at the directory structures, the main difference I can see
between my repo and ibiblio's is that the metadata file has a different
name (maven-metadata-central.xml vs maven-metadata.xml). So I tried
just changing the name. This seems to "work" but maven now complains
about the checksum failing (as there is none):
[WARNING] *** CHECKSUM FAILED - Error retrieving checksum file for
org/apache/maven/plugins/maven-resources-plugin/maven-metadata.xml -
IGNORING
I have a feeling there must be a better way to go about this than
renaming all metadata files and ignoring checksum errors. Any suggestions?
