Maven - Is it possible to specify mirror in pom.xml?

Question

Is it possible to specify mirror in pom.xml ? For example I am want to make one my own repo like central repo. And I want disable requests to the central repo and make all requests to my own repo. Is it possible to disable default central repo in Maven?

Answer 1

In the pom it's not possible to define mirror entries furthermore it would be bad practice if definition of mirrors were possible (which is not the case). Similar for repositories definition in pom's (which are possible, but considered bad practice).

Best solution for such kind of thing is to install a repository manager which acts like a "own central repository."

Answer 2

Mirror can't be in the pom.xml. but it can be put add to your project's files.

When using maven 3.3.1+, you can use the core extension project-settings-extension to load the project settings, and put project specific mirrors into ${basedir}/.mvn/settings.xml in your project.

in ${basedir}/.mvn/extensions.xml

    <extensions xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/EXTENSIONS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"   xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/EXTENSIONS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/core-extensions-1.0.0.xsd">       <extension>         <groupId>com.github.gzm55.maven</groupId>         <artifactId>project-settings-extension</artifactId>         <version>0.1.1</version>       </extension>     </extensions> 

in ${basedir}/.mvn/settings.xml

<settings>   <mirrors>     <mirror>       <id>id</id>       <url>https://url-for-this-project/</url>       <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>     </mirror>   </mirrors> </settings>
