I use Proximity as Maven mirror. If you need a new repository to use the artifacts for your project, you have to change three XML files to add it, which is a not easy and every time you have to copy and paste some parts of the configuration and have to change them manually. Because I’m a lazy developer I have written a script to create the necessary XML tags. You can download it from the server. Check the path of the Proximity installation within the script, per default it is set to $CATALINA_HOME/webapps/proximity. The script contains only a basic logic, you can enhance it with more complex things. The new repository will be added to the “public” repository group, which is set as the mirror within the Maven configuration file.
