Plugin not found in plugin repository – How do I fix the problem when my company Nexus fails?

I’m trying to build Hadoop locally and when

$ mvn  -U clean install -Pdist -Dtar -Ptest-patch

As mentioned earlier – http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToSetupYourDevelopmentEnvironment

[ERROR] Error resolving version for plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-javadoc-plugin' from the repositories [local (/Users/me/.m2/repository), nexus  (http://beefy.myorg.local:8081/nexus/content/groups/public)]: Plugin not found in any plugin repository -> [Help 1]

As I saw the

logs on the console, I saw them

[INFO] Apache Hadoop Distribution

Since my company’s Nexus is down, is there any way to fix this and let Hadoop build?

Update

After adding the repository to my project pom, it still fails

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project hadoop: Could not resolve dependencies for project groupId:hadoop:jar:master-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies for [ org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-core:jar:0.20.2 (compile)]: Failed to read artifact descriptor for org.apache.hadoop:hadoop-core:jar:0.20.2: Could not transfer artifact org.apache.hadoop :hadoop-core:pom:0.20.2 from/to nexus (http://beefy.myorg.local:8081/nexus/content/groups/public): Error transferring file: Operation timed out -> [Help 1]

This is the pom .xml

  <repositories>
        <repository>
            <id>mvnrepository</id>
            <url>http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/</url>
        </repository>

</repositories>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>org.apache.hadoop</groupId>
            <artifactId>hadoop-core</artifactId>
            <version>0.20.2</version>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

Solution

If you have internet access, simply declare a new Maven repository (in your pom or your settings.xml

):
<pre class=”lang-xml prettyprint-override”> <repositories>
<repository>
<id>your-internal-repo</id>
<url>http://beefy.myorg.local:8081/nexus/content/</url>
</repository>

<repository>
<id>mvnrepository</id>
<url>http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>

This configuration will first attempt to download from your repository and then fail. And Maven will try all declared repositories until it works…. or not working 🙂

In effect, your internal repository is a proxy that caches remote repositories (mvnrepositories).
