Question

How to add new remote repo to the NetBeans 7.2 for using with the Dependency window (with repo indexing)?

I found http://wiki.magnolia-cms.com/display/WIKI/setting+up+Netbeans+with+the+Magnolia+maven+repository but in 7.2 NB this window moved.

In the Dependency there are no button for adding new remote Maven repos.
I need to add http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/mortbay/jetty/jetty/7.0.0.pre5/ to the NetBeans.

Sorry my bad English.

Thanks, Arthur.

You can edit settings.xml file in maven and add your repository to it. You should add something like:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>nexus</id>
        <name>Repository for JDK 1.6 builds</name>
        <url>http://myrepo1:1111/contextpath/</url>
        <layout>default</layout>
    </repository>
    <repository>
        <id>nexus-major</id>
        <name>Repository for JDK 1.6 builds 2</name>
        <url>http://myrepo1:1111/contextpath2/</url>
        <layout>default</layout>
    </repository>
</repositories>

But this code should be wrapped in profile tag, I think. For more details you can see this.
You can find settings file in $HOME/.m2 directory in linux and same directory in Windows.
