Maven Project + Apache Maven + Apache archiva

Question

This is what I did

1. As a first step, I have configured the Apache Archiva and the service runs perfectly as a standalone service though it created some trouble for me while trying to run in tomcat.

2. Edited the setting.xml in the MAVEN_HOME pointing to the Apache Archiva repository by adding mirror.

With the project's pom.xml, I see the following

<repositories>
  <repository>
    <snapshots>
      <enabled>false</enabled>
    </snapshots>
    <id>central</id>
    <name>Central Repository</name>
    <url>http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
  </repository>
</repositories>

Should I remove this to make my Archiva repository effective? I am afraid that this code makes a direct call from the Central repository without making use of the Archiva. Is this correct? Please advise

Answer 1

yes you can. This repository is the default one (and no need to declare it in your pom). Just a mirror with <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf> in your settings
