Many Maven repositories in pom.xml or settings.xml mirrors

[Pierre Le Roux]

Hello,

I would like to declare repositories in pom.xml or mirrors in settings.xml.

My aim is to retrieve some artifact from maven central and some others from oss sonatype public.

for this i declared 2 repositories :
* either in my pom like this
<repositories> <repository> <id>central</id> <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/</url> </repository> <repository> <id>Sonatype repository</id> <name>Sonatype's Maven repository</name> <url>http://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public</url> </repository> </repositories>
* either in my settings.xml like this :
<mirror> <id>central</id> <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf> <url>http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/</url> </mirror> <mirror> <id>Sonatype repository</id> <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf> <url>http://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public</url> </mirror>

I would like Maven to do this process :
if the package doesn't exist on the first repository, it tries to find it on the second one.

Is there a way to do it without using a custom repository such as Archiva or nexus ?

Thanks for you help.

OK.

There's no problem for those who use Maven 2.2.1 but problem appears since Maven 3.

I just created a bug on http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5241

That's good to know. I always expected the repositories to be searched in the order in which they appear.
