14.5. Configuring Maven Proxies and HTTP Proxies through settings.xml
Overview
You can optionally configure the Maven proxy using a standard Maven
settings.xml
file. For example, this approach is particularly convenient in a development environment, because it makes it possible to store your build time settings and your run time settings in one place.
Enabling the settings.xml configuration approach
To configure Fabric to read its Maven configuration from a Maven
settings.xml
file, perform the following steps:
- Delete the
org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories
property setting from theio.fabric8.agent
PID in thedefault
profile, using the following console command:profile-edit --delete --pid io.fabric8.agent/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.repositories default
When the repositories setting is absent, Fabric implicitly switches to thesettings.xml
configuration approach.NoteThis step simultaneously clears both the repositories list used by the Fabric8 agent and the repositories list used by the Maven proxy server (because the Maven proxy's repository list is normally copied straight from the Fabric8 agent's repository list). - Set the
io.fabric8.maven.settings
property from theio.fabric8.maven
PID in thedefault
profile to the location of the Mavensettings.xml
file. For example, if yoursettings.xml
file is stored in the location,/home/fuse/settings.xml
, you would set theio.fabric8.maven.settings
property as follows:profile-edit --pid io.fabric8.maven/io.fabric8.maven.settings='/home/fuse/settings.xml' default
NoteThe effect of this setting is to configure the Maven proxy server to takes its Maven configuration from the specifiedsettings.xml
file. The Fabric8 agent is not affected by this setting. - In order to configure the Fabric8 agent with the Maven
settings.xml
, set theorg.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.settings
property from theio.fabric8.agent
PID in thedefault
profile to the location of the Mavensettings.xml
file. For example, if yoursettings.xml
file is stored in the location,/home/fuse/settings.xml
, you would set theorg.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.settings
property as follows:profile-edit --pid io.fabric8.agent/org.ops4j.pax.url.mvn.settings='/home/fuse/settings.xml' default
ImportantIf you configure a HTTP proxy in yoursettings.xml
file, it is essential to configure the ensemble hosts (where the Maven proxies are running) as HTTP non-proxy hosts. Otherwise, the Fabric8 agent tries to connect to the local Maven proxy through the HTTP proxy (which is an error).
Adding a remote Maven repository
To add a new remote Maven repository to your
settings.xml
file, open the settings.xml
file in a text editor and add a new repository
XML element. For example, to create an entry for the JBoss A-MQ public Maven repository, add a repository
element as shown:
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd"> ... <profiles> <profile> <id>my-fuse-profile</id> <activation> <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault> </activation> <repositories> <!-- | Add new remote Maven repositories here --> <repository> <id>jboss-fuse-public-repository</id> <url>https://repo.fusesource.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url> <releases> <enabled>true</enabled> </releases> <snapshots> <enabled>false</enabled> </snapshots> </repository> ... </repositories> </profiles> ... </settings>
The preceding example additionally specifies that release artifacts can be downloaded, but snapshot artifacts cannot be downloaded from the repository.
Configuring a HTTP proxy
To configure a HTTP proxy (which will be used when connecting to remote Maven repositories), open the
settings.xml
file in a text editor and add a new proxy
XML element as a child of the proxies
XML element. The definition of the proxy follows the standard Maven syntax. For example, to create a proxy for the HTTP (insecure) protocol with host, 192.0.2.0
, and port, 8080
, add a proxy
element as follows:
<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd"> ... <proxies> <proxy> <id>fuse-proxy-1</id> <active>true</active> <protocol>http</protocol> <host>192.0.2.0</host> <port>8080</port> <nonProxyHosts>ensemble1|ensemble2|ensemble3</nonProxyHosts> </proxy> </proxies> ... </settings>
You must remember to add the ensemble hosts (where the Maven proxy servers are running) to the list of HTTP non-proxy hosts in the
nonProxyHosts
element. This ensures that the Fabric8 agents do not attempt to connect to the Maven proxies through the HTTP proxy, but make a direct connection instead. In the preceding example, the ensemble host names are ensemble1
, ensemble2
, and ensemble3
.
You can also add a proxy for secure HTTPS connections by adding a
proxy
element configured with the https
protocol.
Alternative approaches to configuring a HTTP proxy
There are some alternative approaches you can use to configure a HTTP proxy, but generally these other approaches are not as convenient as editing the
settings.xml
file. For example, you could take the approach of setting the http.proxyHost
and http.proxyPort
system properties in the InstallDir/etc/system.properties
file (just like the approach for a standalone, non-Fabric container):
http.proxyHost=192.0.2.0 http.proxyPort=8080
This configuration suffers from the disadvantage that it also affects the Fabric8 agents, preventing them from accessing the Maven proxy server directly (on the internal network). In order to compensate for this, you would need to configure the list of non-proxy hosts to include the hosts where the Fabric servers (ensemble servers) are running, for example:
http.nonProxyHosts=ensemblehost1|ensemblehost2|ensemblehost3

file, see the Maven Settings Reference. But please note that not all of the features documented there are necessarily supported by Fabric.
