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&g…ml>,
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 ?
I don't think so, as mirrors are something frequently used. So feel free
to use them, maybe there's a mirror even nearer?
