Hi EJ, Apologies if this has already been suggested (I've already deleted most of this thread), but have you tried adding the following to a file named " settings.xml" in your ${user.home}\.m2 directory (e.g. "C:\documents and settings\gareth\.m2\settings.xml"):
<settings> <mirrors> <mirror> <id>my-repo</id> <name>Internal mirror of http://build.corp.upromise.com/mavenrepository </name> <url>http://build.corp.upromise.com/mavenrepository</url> <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf> </mirror> </mirrors> </settings> ? If you do that you shouldn't have to add anything to project POM (although it does rely on each user having a "settings.xml" with these settings in it).
