How can I setup multiple repositories for mvn builds? - maven

Question

I want to download 'standard' jars like Spring framework from central maven repository, but proprietary license jars from our custom maven repository (Artifactory) repo. I've setup the pom.xml file this way:
<repositories>
<repository>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>central</id>
<name>maven2</name>
<url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
</repository>
<repository>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>2</id>
<name>Artifactory</name>
<url>https://na.artifactory.swg-devops.com/artifactory/gbs-ic2esprint-bluecost-libs-maven-virtual</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
It's not working the way I want it. Here is what I get now:

Answer 1

The tags do not affect the order at which maven uses repositories to fetch dependencies.
So the for maven central should be central, just for good practice.
However, your order is right but your links are not correct. you did not specify the central repository correctly. Try this instead:
<repository>
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
<id>central</id>
<name>maven2</name>
<url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
</repository>
For your artifactory, try with your browser if you can connect to https://swg-devops.com/artifactory . Try also with https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 and you should see how it should look like. When you have the correct link resolved you should be able to download the dependencies and maven automatically tries all the repositories from first to last to find the dependency.
