Faster builds for Java developers with Maven Central mirror
Thursday, November 5, 2015
The Maven Central Repository is a key host of Java dependencies and is used by many popular build systems and dependency managers, such as Apache Maven, Gradle, Ivy, Grape and
Bazel
. Jason van Zyl, founder of Apache Maven, is hosting a complete mirror of the Maven Central Repository on Google Cloud Storage, meaning faster builds on Google Cloud Platform.
When you build a Maven project, Maven will check your pom.xml file for dependencies. If the dependency isn’t available locally, it needs to be pulled from an online repository. With a simple change to your settings.xml configuration file, a build system running on Cloud Platform – for example,
Jenkins on Google Compute Engine
or
Google Cloud Shell
– can now fetch your project’s dependencies from Cloud Storage, increasing the speed of your builds.
To use the Cloud Storage Maven Central mirror, add this in the settings.xml configuration file:
Access the Maven Central Repository via API
Google provides API libraries to access Cloud Storage in
Java
,
Python
,
Node.js
and
Ruby
. The libraries can be used to access the Maven repository bucket. For example, the following snippet lists all the entities at the top of
“maven-central”
storage bucket:
