Adding different mirrors for maven / Mirror management in Apache maven
In some cases it may takes a lot of time during a maven build as it is necessary to download required dependecies from the maven central repo. Maven uses a mirror, located in California, United States for downlowding required maven dependencies during a maven bulid. Even there has been implemented a balance loader for the default maven mirror (http://repo1.maven.org) recently it might make sense to overwrite the default behavior and set the mirror manually cause of:
-) A mirror is geographically closer and faster
-) Use an internal mirror (e.g. repo - proxy)
Maven allows different settings to improve speed and make the downloading process more efficient and fast. Depending on the workflow two different soultions can be an adequate approach for the problem, described above.
