Multiple maven repository with the same credentials

Question

I am using the Apache Maven 3.5.2 and I face the same problem. I try to pull dependencies from two nexus-releases-repository, using the same account(username + password)

My .m2/setting.xml contains:

<servers>
  <server>
    <id>nexus</id>
    <username>username</username>
    <password>password</password>
  </server>   
</servers>

My project's pom.xml contains:

 <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>nexus</id>
      <url>https://DOMAIN/repository/repoA-maven-public/</url>
    </repository>

    <repository>
      <id>nexus</id>
      <url>https://DOMAIN/repository/repoB-maven-public/</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

I am using the same account to login into both of repository, but I get maven error repositories.repository.id must be unique. How that can be resolved

Answer 1

From Repositories section of pom.xml documentation:

id, name: The id is used to uniquely identify this repository amongst many, and the name is a human readable form.

So, the id should be unique.

In our case, in settings.xml we have multiple servers definitions with the same credentials but different id values.
