----------------------------------------

[~maxandersen] > yes, and im surprised hearing tycho doesnt support mirroring since it seemed to work pretty damn good for me before. maybe specific to targets.

Tycho supports mirroring, but not for Target Platform. Mirroring of repo from target platform will be supported with Tycho 0.16.

> what is diff between -gs and -s ?

-gs = --global-settings, usually overrides (global) settings found in $M2_HOME/conf/settings.xml
-s = --settings , usually overrides (user) settings found in ${user.home}/.m2/settings.xml

This was advised by some other Maven users: http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/maven-users/201209.mbox/browser

> Currently, we deal with optimization for Jenkins by multiple local.* properties and local.* profiles.
> Those properties and profiles are just used in order to replace repository URL.
> Maven has the concept of mirroring for that, and without adding a profile, we can tell Maven to consume another URL for a given repo. Moreover, Tycho will support mirrors for repo in .target files starting from 0.16.0.
> WE should move to the mirror approach since it keeps things clear and separate issues: pom describe build, mirror allow to override repo without any change.
> Seems like Maven supports having 2 settings.xml files as input (one with -gs and one with -s), so no big difficulty here.
