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 ?
I don't think so, as mirrors are something frequently used. So feel free to use them, maybe there's a mirror even nearer? -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/
