Maven2 repository not updated

[Agur Dunit]

Hi everybody,

I'm a newbe to maven and i'm looking for an updated online maven2 repository as the standard central repository "http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/" is not yet updated. Is it recommanded to create my own repository from the central repository and update it with the latest releases of third-tier packages (struts, spring, ...)?

Thank you

Hi Agur,

Unfortunately Central doesn't always have an up to date copy of every library, you can do 3 things:

1.) Submit the library to Maven central yourself (instructions are on the Maven site)
2.) Add extra public repositories to your list (Jboss, and Java.net host some for example)
3.) Have a locally hosted repository manager such as Nexus or Artifactory to host these libraries (e.g. Will supply from Central when it can otherwise will use the one you provide)

Hope that helps!
