JBoss Maven Repository

To use the jboss maven repository under https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/ you have to add a profile in your settings.xml (~/.m2 or $M2_HOME/conf).

<settings>  
  ...  
  <profiles>  
    ...  
    <profile>  
      <id>jboss-public-repository</id>  
      <repositories>  
        <repository>  
          <id>jboss-public-repository-group</id>  
          <name>JBoss Public Maven Repository Group</name>  
          <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/</url>  
          <layout>default</layout>  
          <releases>  
            <enabled>true</enabled>  
            <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>  
          </releases>  
          <snapshots>  
            <enabled>true</enabled>  
            <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>  
          </snapshots>  
        </repository>  
      </repositories>  
      <pluginRepositories>  
        <pluginRepository>  
          <id>jboss-public-repository-group</id>  
          <name>JBoss Public Maven Repository Group</name>  
          <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/</url>  
          <layout>default</layout>  
          <releases>  
            <enabled>true</enabled>  
            <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>  
          </releases>  
          <snapshots>  
            <enabled>true</enabled>  
            <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>  
          </snapshots>  
        </pluginRepository>
