--------------------------------
Summary: Proxies and Mirrors In Profiles
Key: MNG-5698
URL: https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5698
Project: Maven
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Settings
Environment: All
Reporter: Edwin Wiles
There appear to be 140 issues regarding proxy configuration. None of them
appear to have been adequately dealt with.
There should be a solution, internal to Maven, preferably in the settings.xml
file, that allows the user to either automatically, or at worst with a -P
profile argument, to switch between proxies and mirrors.
It seems the easiest way to achieve this is to allow proxies and mirrors into
profiles, the same as properties and repositories are now.
USE CASE: I am presently dealing with an environment where company A has a
mirror, proxy, and VPN access; company B has a mirror, proxy, and VPN access;
and the user may be working from either company's office, either company's VPN,
or from home without using either company's resources.
Just making proxies and mirrors acceptable in profiles would go a VERY long way
to solving this problem.
