Using mirrors of maven2 repositories

Posted on by Carlos Sanchez

I’ve added to the docs the list of available maven2 mirrors, just use one of the following mirror entries in your settings.xml

<settings>

  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>dotsrc.org</id>
      <url>http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/maven2</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
    <mirror>
      <id>ggi-project.org</id>
      <url>http://ftp.ggi-project.org/pub/packages/maven2</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
    <mirror>
      <id>sunsite.dk</id>
      <url>http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/maven2</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
    <mirror>
      <id>planetmirror.com</id>
      <url>http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/maven2</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
    <mirror>
      <id>lsu.edu</id>
      <url>http://ibiblio.lsu.edu/main/pub/packages/maven2</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
    <mirror>
      <id>ibiblio.net</id>
      <url>http://www.ibiblio.net/pub/packages/maven2</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>

</settings>

  1. Carlos,

    With all the trouble iBiblio is having (it seems to be more unreliable than usual these days) I’ve attempted to add mirrors to my ~/.m2/settings.xml file. However, it doesn’t seem that Maven is using the settings! Is there a switch I need to provide to mvn to tell it to use my mirrors?

    I can tell that my settings.xml file is being read, because I have elements which are used to deploy to a local repository. Here’s the output of mvn compile as an example:
