Several types of Maven repositories
In the context of Maven, a "repository" refers to a storage location for artifacts such as JAR files, POM files, and other resources needed during the build and deployment processes. There are several types of Maven repositories, and their differences can be summarized as follows:1. Local Repository
[*]Description: A repository located on your local machine where Maven stores all downloaded dependencies.
[*]Default Location:
[*]~/.m2/repository (on Linux/Mac)
[*]C:\Users\<User>\.m2\repository (on Windows)
[*]How It Works:
[*]When you build a Maven project, it first looks for dependencies in the local repository.
[*]If not found, it downloads from remote repositories and caches them locally.
[*]Configuration: Can be customized in the settings.xml file. <localRepository>/path/to/local/repo</localRepository>
2. Remote Repository
[*]Description: A central location on the internet or an organization's network that hosts Maven artifacts.
[*]Examples:
[*]Maven Central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/)
[*]JCenter (deprecated)
[*]Custom Nexus/Artifactory repositories.
[*]Usage:
[*]Maven queries remote repositories if the dependency is not found locally.
[*]Configuration: Add remote repositories in the pom.xml or settings.xml. <repositories> <repository> <id>central</id> <url>https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url> </repository> </repositories>
3. Central Repository
[*]Description: The default remote repository used by Maven to download dependencies.
[*]URL: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/
[*]Characteristics:
[*]Publicly accessible.
[*]Maintained by the Maven project.
[*]No Additional Configuration Required:
[*]Maven uses this repository by default unless explicitly overridden.
4. Private/Corporate Repository
[*]Description: A repository set up by an organization to host internal or third-party artifacts not available in public repositories.
[*]Tools:
[*]Nexus Repository Manager
[*]JFrog Artifactory
[*]AWS CodeArtifact
[*]Benefits:
[*]Enhanced control over dependencies.
[*]Secure and private storage for proprietary code.
[*]Configuration: <repositories> <repository> <id>corporate-repo</id> <url>https://my.corporate.repo/repository/maven-releases/</url> </repository> </repositories>
5. Snapshot Repository
[*]Description: Dedicated to hosting -SNAPSHOT artifacts, which represent development versions of a project.
[*]Usage:
[*]When a project is under development, frequent updates may occur.
[*]SNAPSHOT versions are updated dynamically in the repository.
[*]Configuration Example: <repositories> <repository> <id>snapshots</id> <url>https://my.corporate.repo/repository/maven-snapshots/</url> <snapshots> <enabled>true</enabled> </snapshots> </repository> </repositories>
6. Release Repository
[*]Description: Hosts stable and released versions of artifacts (non-SNAPSHOT versions).
[*]Usage:
[*]Used for production-ready artifacts.
[*]Once deployed to the release repository, the artifacts are immutable.
[*]Configuration Example: <repositories> <repository> <id>releases</id> <url>https://my.corporate.repo/repository/maven-releases/</url> <releases> <enabled>true</enabled> </releases> </repository> </repositories>
