The maven documentation says:
http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html
Using A Single Repository. You can force Maven to use a single repository by having it mirror all repository requests. The repository must contain all of the desired artifacts, or be able to proxy the requests to other repositories. This setting is most useful when using an internal company repository with the Maven Repository Manager to proxy external requests.
To achieve this, set mirrorOf to *.
<settings>
...
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<id>internal-repository</id>
<name>Maven Repository Manager running on repo.mycompany.com</name>
<url>http://repo.mycompany.com/proxy</url>
<mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
...
</settings>
I don't understand this paragraph.
Shouldn't it be something like this?

Where is my miss-understanding?
I mean, <mirror><id>internal-repository</id>... seems just wrong to me.

Mirror means a repository that is used as a passerelle/proxy to an other repository. When using a repository manager like Nexus, Artiafactory, Archiva... you dispose of one local entreprise repository wich proxifies remotes ones. So there is no need to declare too many repositories in your pom or setting.
Mirror a Repository Repository mirroring in Space allows you to create and maintain a synchronized copy of a repository hosted outside of Space. Mirrored repositories are synchronized in both directions. You can push commits to your Space mirror and they will be delivered to the remote repository.
A repository in Maven holds build artifacts and dependencies of varying types. There are exactly two types of repositories: local and remote: the local repository is a directory on the computer where Maven runs. It caches remote downloads and contains temporary build artifacts that you have not yet released.

When using a repository manager like Nexus, Artiafactory, Archiva... you dispose of one local entreprise repository wich proxifies remotes ones. So there is no need to declare too many repositories in your pom or setting.xml. Using Just one mirror which redirect all requests to the repository manager you have will be sufficient. That is the meaning of the documentation.
