Mirror settings should allow null URL
-------------------------------------
Key: MNG-5172
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5172
Project: Maven 2 & 3
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Settings
Reporter: Paul Gier
In some cases I want to block, instead of mirror, a particular URL. I would
like to set the mirror URL to blank or null to show that no downloads should be
attempted from this repo.
Another use case is if I want to block all repos except for one normal repo and
one plugin repo. So my mirror settings look like this:
{code:xml}
<mirror>
<id>restricted-build</id>
<mirrorOf>
*,!main-dep-repo,!main-plugin-repo
</mirrorOf>
<name>Mirror Settings for release builds</name>
<url></url>
</mirror>
{code}
Then later in the settings, the repositories "main-dep-repo" and
"main-plugin-repo" are defined. If only a single URL is used for both deps and
plugins, then the URL could be put directly into the mirror settings. But if
there is a different URL for project dependencies vs. plugins, then the mirror
URL cannot be used.
