Use Nexus as a local proxy/cache. You can download and run it out of the box with no config so it's the easiest and lightest instance to run on a local machine. Just hook up your Maven to it with a mirrorOf central (or *) and run your build ahead of time. This will populate Nexus with all the artifacts you need. You can then clear your local repository to show how Maven downloads the artifacts from "central"
From: Edward Song [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, April 07, 2008 3:53 PM To: users@maven.apache.org Subject: Downloading Apache Maven Repositories : Proxy Workaround For demo purposes, I wanted to show the benefits of Apache Maven to a few others. There is a firewall and proxy over here that will not allow Maven to go get artifacts from the central maven repository and the networking guy will not provide the necessary authentication info to allow Maven to tunnel through the proxy. Is there a way to get an install of Maven which contains the latest artifact snapshots by default? Looking for a quick fix. Thanks in advance. Ed
