We're pretty much doing what Jose is doing, but we don't see these timeouts. I think it's because the Maven properties are set up to look in our internal repository first and then go global from there. Just about everything is in the internal repository (certainly the artifacts for our projects are there), so the download time isn't much at all.
My maven.repo.remote property lists the internal repository first, and ibiblio second. As far as the approach to take when releasing and incrementing versions, the process you describe is essentially what we're doing. In fact, I just wrote up a document outlining our internal process for releasing projects for our developers (since we're about to release the big project soon), so I know the details very well. ..David.. -----Original Message----- From: Trygve Laugstøl [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 02, 2005 4:14 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: Best practices for release and version management?

The easiest solution to this problem is to either configure a proxy so it doesn't time out (but rather get a 404 response from the HTTP server) or just run Maven in off-line mode (by using the -o switch) -- Trygve --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
