User guide

1. Download m2-proxy-version.war from the SF project page
2. Rename m2-proxy-version.war to m2-proxy.war
3. Deploy the war to the servlet container
4. Set Maven mirror setting. Into user.home/.m2/settings.xml insert

     <settings>
     ...
     
     <mirrors>
       <mirror>
         <id>m2-proxy</id>
         <name>Proxy</name>
         <url>http://serveraddress:8080/m2-proxy/resources/</url>
         <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
       </mirror>
   
       <mirror>
         <id>m2-proxy</id>
         <name>Proxy</name>
         <url>http://serveraddress:8080/m2-proxy/resources/</url>
         <mirrorOf>Maven Snapshots</mirrorOf>
       </mirror>
   
     </mirrors>
   
     ...
     
   </settings>
   

   Where serveraddress:8080 is the address of the server and port, where the servlet container is listening on. Do not forget to change the serveraddress to something meaningfull.

5. (Optional) Change m2-proxy.war/WEB-INF/m2-proxy.properties

   localStore.dir=${user.home}/m2-proxy/repository
   xml.timeout=1d
   pom.timeout=1d
   snapshot.timeout=1d
   default.timeout=never
   

   1. Set localStore.dir to the directory, where the resources should be stored
   2. Optionally you can change timeouts for xml and pom file types. Timeout is a number in miliseconds or something 1d as one day, 3h as 3 hours or 5m as 5 minutes or 10s as ten second. You can also insert "never" for resources that never expires
