Appendix B. Using Red Hat Maven repositories

Procedure

1. Locate the Maven settings.xml file. It is usually inside the .m2 directory in the user home directory. If the file does not exist, use a text editor to create it.

   On Linux or UNIX:

   /home/<username>/.m2/settings.xml

   On Windows:

   C:\Users\<username>\.m2\settings.xml

2. Add a new profile containing the Red Hat repository to the profiles element of the settings.xml file, as in the following example:

   Example: A Maven settings.xml file containing the Red Hat repository

   <settings>
     <profiles>
       <profile>
         <id>red-hat</id>
         <repositories>
           <repository>
             <id>red-hat-ga</id>
             <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga</url>
             <releases>
               <enabled>true</enabled>
             </releases>
             <snapshots>
               <enabled>false</enabled>
             </snapshots>
           </repository>
         </repositories>
         <pluginRepositories>
           <pluginRepository>
             <id>red-hat-ga</id>
             <url>https://maven.repository.redhat.com/ga</url>
             <releases>
               <enabled>true</enabled>
             </releases>
             <snapshots>
               <enabled>false</enabled>
             </snapshots>
           </pluginRepository>
         </pluginRepositories>
       </profile>
     </profiles>
     <activeProfiles>
       <activeProfile>red-hat</activeProfile>
     </activeProfiles>
   </settings>
