I was debugging a repository issue with a maven project, and noticed that
the pom based repository was being mirrored by Maven Central.
I found this section in my ~/.m2/settings.xml file:
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>maven-central</id>
<url>https://repo1.maven.org/maven2/</url>
<mirrorOf>*,!eclipselink.repository,!jvnet-nexus-promoted,!netbeans.repository</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
Looking over the settings.xml file, it appears that this is entirely a
NetBeans construct. (I have no memory of tweaking settings.xml myself).
Does NB install/update a local settings.xml? When does it do this?
