Hi,

I'd like to piggy back on this thread, since my question is just drilling
down further.
So, if I say have the following profile in my mvn home settings.xml:
<profile>
<id>myRepository</id>
<activation>
<jdk>1.4</jdk>
</activation>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>myRepository</id>
<name>Repository for myRepository builds</name>
<url>http://www.myhost.com/maven/myRepository</url>
<layout>default</layout>
<snapshotPolicy>always</snapshotPolicy>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
And then I put in the apache html directory my entire directory structure
and files currently under my local repository under the apache html
directory like so:
/var/www/html/maven/myRepository
Then I now will be getting everything from that repository instead of my
local repository, true?
In theory yes. In practice it's not that simple. Even if they look
similar a local and remote repository are different things. A remote
repository has additional metadata that is missing in a local
repository. See here [1] for example.
To get a valid remote repository you have to deploy your artifacts to it
(see below for instruction).
Coincidently someone posted just today in this thread [6] a link to a
shell script that converts a local to a remote repository. You may want
to have a look at it.
And how would I install new jars in the repository as they are needed, by a
simple copy, or could I then use the install command to get it to the
remote repository?
As you use the install (for existing projects) or install-file (for
3rd-party jars) mojos to install artifacts to a local repository you use
the deploy respectivly deploy-file mojos for remote repositories. See
[2], [3] and [4], [5] for instructions.
Thanks,
John
