Thank you much Tom, I'm getting there but still stuck. So far I can get maven to pull artifacts from maven-proxy while it pulls plugins from the official repo thanx to your help. I still can't get the plugins to serve from maven-proxy. I have confirmed that maven proxy still is not able to download artifacts from Ibiblio. To confirm this I renamed the jaxen folder in maven-proxy's local repo and ran my maven build on my client. It pull all of the rest of the stuff from maven-proxy and failed when it tried to pull down jaxen. So in summary, artifacts placed in maven-proxy's local repo folder can be served while remote stuff from Ibiblio cannot be found. Also, my local maven build has a problem finding the maven-resource-plugin when I clean my ~/.m2/repository. Even after using your profiles settings suggestions it won't find the plugin. I have confirmed the plugin exists in the maven-proxy repo too.
More info that may shed light on things: To load maven-proxy's local repo folder I opened a split screen in (KDE) Konqueror and just dragged everything from under my ~/.m2/repository folder into the maven-proxy local repository folder. I understand there is a difference between maven-proxy's local store and the local repository configured for it. The local store is the place where it caches artifacts it finds on the internet and the local repository is just an extra repository it can go for artifacts. I dropped my ~/.m2/repository stuff into the local repository not the local store. I also noticed the hard fail property on the local repository is configured to true. I'm wondering if that is somehow causing maven-proxy to not consider the other repositories configured, Ibiblio and codehaus. I might try switchin the order of the list to see if that helps any. If you have any other ideas I could try I'd be more than appreciative. Thanx again for all of your help! --------------------------------------------------- Clifton C.
