Maven Repository URL

[stevebuck]

I have been attempting to retrieve Spring artifacts from the published Spring Maven repository http://repository.springsource.com/m...undles/release (or anything under http://repository.springsource.com/maven) and I keep getting 404's.

Is there a new location for the Spring Maven repositories?

Thanks!

Please read this: http://www.springsource.org/node/2962

Thanks for the link, I also get a 404 when attempting to get to http://maven.springframework.org/release

Is it just my network that is giving me these issues?

Probably

The 3 repos that we use for milestones, snapshots and releases are:

<repositories>
		<repository>
			<id>repository.springframework.maven.release</id>
			<name>Spring Framework Maven Release Repository</name>
			<url>http://maven.springframework.org/release</url>
		</repository>
		<repository>
			<id>repository.springframework.maven.milestone</id>
			<name>Spring Framework Maven Milestone Repository</name>
			<url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone</url>
		</repository>
		<repository>
			<id>repository.springframework.maven.snapshot</id>
			<name>Spring Framework Maven Snapshot Repository</name>
			<url>http://maven.springframework.org/snapshot</url>
		</repository>
</repositories>

I understand this, but I'm currently getting a not found when I attempt to not only use the repository but also load them in the web browser (as a test).

I just looked in maven central (as the other part of the post suggested) and didn't realize that the 3.0.x releases were also in that repository. I only saw up to 2.5.6 in my nexus cache, so I will use maven central and figure out what's wrong with my nexus cache.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

I'm experiencing the same problem at the moment. None of the following repositories can be accessed at the moment (and they have worked for me previously!). This leads me to conclude that there is some sort of operations problem right now (I tested yesterday and today):

<repository>
			<id>repository.springframework.maven.release</id>
			<name>Spring Framework Maven Release Repository</name>
			<url>http://maven.springframework.org/release</url>
		</repository>
		<repository>
			<id>repository.springframework.maven.milestone</id>
			<name>Spring Framework Maven Milestone Repository</name>
			<url>http://maven.springframework.org/milestone</url>
		</repository>
		<repository>
			<id>repository.springframework.maven.snapshot</id>
			<name>Spring Framework Maven Snapshot Repository</name>
			<url>http://maven.springframework.org/snapshot</url>
		</repository>

The following root URL does work for me when accessed from a browser: http://maven.springframework.org, but the above sub-paths do not work at all, whether accessed from a browser, from a maven build configured with the explicit repositories, or proxied by Nexus. The Nexus "Browse Remote" feature also fails to work for these repositories at the moment.

Those are repository URLs and are not intended to be directly accessible via the browser. If you need to browse the repository, you can use a utility such as this: http://shrub.appspot.com/maven.springframework.org/

Hope that helps.

Ok, I wasn't completely correct before. I am able to use the repositories if I bypass our corporate Nexus proxy. So, the issue here seems to be with Nexus not being able to proxy these particular Spring repositories. This has worked fine previously but doesn't seem to be working right now. And this is unfortunately a showstopper for sharing my current project with my co-workers.

However, I don't think this is an issue with Nexus, since it is able to proxy other S3-backed repositories such as the Spring EBR repositories.

My theory is that perhaps some metadata or configuration has changed on these repositories which makes Nexus unable to proxy them?

I've verified that our Nexus isn't misconfigured, I've also reproduced the issue on a fresh local install of Nexus: Spring EBR repositores are proxied just fine, the "Maven Central compatible" Spring repositories we're talking about refuse to allow themselves to be proxied.

Any theories?

[oleg.zhurakousky]

All I can say is that we have many users who are using nexus and other proxies successfully, so if you are sure that nexus is not misconfigured, then check with your network admin to see if that repository or urls blocked from the server where nexus is running

I am also going to ping few guys who might have some more insights.
