RE: Downloading Apache Maven Repositories : Proxy Workaround

Thanks Wayne for your reply,

They're super strict with their networking and only allow HTTP traffic
through a firewall and the demo computer is onsite.  So installs can only be
done from an internal approved resource.  

Despite their tight restrictions, they have a manual build process, and need
some way to demonstrate that loosening the restriction via Maven and
Archiva, would be a good solution for them.  

My current plan is to use Archiva on a laptop and bring it in to the client
site, which works great by the way.  But this is an instance, where a build
with the most up to date snapshots would be beneficial.

I guess my query is, of installing an internal repository by default,
without looking towards an external repository at all for the initial
snapshots?  

Thanks,
Edward Song

Just connect to the Maven repo before your demo and let it update. You
may want to run with -o for offline so it doesn't try to update again
during the demo.

Or perhaps consider running Archiva locally (on the same laptop that
you're demo'ing Maven with). That sounds easiest to me. You'll want to
update Archiva before the demo, of course, but then you can delete
~/.m2/repository and show Maven auto-downloading from the Archiva repo
etc.
