Add Maven repositories for a project in Eclipse?

Question

How can I add Maven repositories for a project. I'm using Eclipse Juno version: Juno Service Release 1 Build id: 20120920-0800 and using Fedora as my OS.

Answer 1

You can include it in your pom.xml. Just add the repositories information inside the <project> tag

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>maven-restlet</id>
        <name>Public online Restlet repository</name>
        <url>http://maven.restlet.org</url>
    </repository>
</repositories>

Answer 2

You have to add the repository to your settings.xml: Maven Settings Reference. For example:

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>codehausSnapshots</id>
      <name>Codehaus Snapshots</name>
      <releases>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
        <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
        <checksumPolicy>warn</checksumPolicy>
      </releases>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>true</enabled>
        <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
        <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
      </snapshots>
      <url>http://snapshots.maven.codehaus.org/maven2</url>
      <layout>default</layout>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

Check the settings in eclipse Window -> Preferences -> Maven -> Installations to see where this file is located.

You can also add a repository in the pom.xml of your project to make it available for this project only.
