Hi, Karl, Real case happened in our company is: There are bunch of repositories using. For specific application, need to limit specific set of repositories.
Those invalid repositories could be defined anywhere. like settings.xml, application's pom files or even in dependency's pom files. So point is: this rule will ban repositories from maven session level, instead of only application pom and its parent. Also attached some comments below from Paul. I create a demo project to show how to use this rule: 1. clone https://github.com/wangyf2010/maven-enforcer, "mvn clean install -DskipTests" it. 2. clone https://github.com/wangyf2010/maven-shared/tree/banned-repos/maven-dependency-analyzer 3. run "mvn enforcer:enforce" for "maven-dependency-analyzer". Of course, you can try to add banned repositories into settings.xml as well. Regards Simon ~~~~ I think banning repositories is a great idea. The example givem may not be too useful -- the system architects should just turn off access to the repo they don't want anyone to acesss -- but I more than once wanted to stop some live repos (out of my control) from being accessed. +1.
