Question

I have a maven repository in an offline network.

I need to update its contents and merge in another repository .

What is the best method to do this ? I looked at the wagon plugin Wagon but I am concerned that there may be a better way.

I could replace my local repo with an offline repository manager but the problem still remains , I would have to update that Repo with regular merges from an online source.

Answer 1

If you can afford to get rid of all metadata (which should recover with the next mvn commands you run) for the time of your operation, just use rsync.

If building a concrete repository is not mandatory, consider using Nexus and its groups.
