maven repositories order - maven

Question

I have a maven repo which stores all the artifacts under
http://example.com/content/public
I have a second repo which stores different artifacts under
http://example.com/content/type1
By default for all the builds I want to get the artifacts from "content/public"
But for one specific usecase when a flag is switched on I want to get artifacts from "content/type1"
If an artifact is not present then I want to look for it in "content/public"
My apache-maven/3.04./conf/settings.xml looks like this
<mirrors>
<mirror>
<!-- This sends everything else to /public -->
<id>nexus</id>
<mirrorOf>*,!type1</mirrorOf>
<url>http://example.com/content/public</url>
</mirror>
</mirrors>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>nexus</id>
<!-- Enable snapshots for the built in central repo to direct -->
<!-- all requests to nexus via the mirror -->
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>central</id>
<url>http://central</url>
<releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
<snapshots><enabled>true</enabled><updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy></snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
<pluginRepositories>
<pluginRepository>
<id>central</id>
<url>http://central</url>
<releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
<snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
</pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>
<properties>
<!-- Default this property so we can create references easily. -->
<nexusHostName>example.com</nexusHostName>
</properties>
</profile>
</profiles>
<activeProfiles>
<!-- make the profile active all the time -->
<activeProfile>nexus</activeProfile>
</activeProfiles>
My profile in the pom.xml looks like this
<profile>
<id>type1-build</id>
<activation>
<property>
<name>type1</name>
<value>true</value>
</property>
</activation>
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>type1</id>
<name>Type1 Repo</name>
<url>http://${nexusHostName}/content/groups/type1/</url>
<layout>default</layout>
<!-- Enforce strict checksums and always update releases and snapshots -->
<releases>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
<updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
<updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
</snapshots>
</repository>
<repository>
<id>nexus</id>
<name>Nexus</name>
<url>http://${nexusHostName}/content/groups/public/</url>
<layout>default</layout>
<!-- Enforce strict checksums and always update releases and snapshots -->
<releases>
<enabled>false</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
<updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
</releases>
<snapshots>
<enabled>true</enabled>
<checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
<updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
</snapshots>
</repository>
</repositories>
</profile>
Even after doing this when i run a goal like mvn goal1 -Dtype1=true it still looks for artifacts in "content/public"
Can someone please tell me what is that I am doing wrong

Answer 1

Just change the order of your repositories content/type1 first and then content/public
