Hi All, I was so fed-up of the central maven repository because it is too damn slow here (srilanka). So I searched a bit and found this article<http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html>, which explains how to add mirrors to your settings.xml file. For me, the following mirror setting seems to work a lot faster (though i don't know how) <mirrors> <mirror> <id>skynet.be</id> <url>http://maven2.mirrors.skynet.be/pub/maven2</url> <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf> <!-- Belgium --> </mirror> </mirrors> I want to know whether this is a good idea (i mean the use of other mirrors). Will there be any unforeseen issues ? Thanks a lot. - Asiri
