Configure generate_workspace with Maven's settings.xml

[Svend Johannsen]

Hi,

I'm running this command to generate the workspace file based on a pom.xml:

bazel-bin/src/tools/generate_workspace/generate_workspace '--maven_project=' foo

But Bazel tries to connect to contral.maven.org, which is outside the firewall and not accessible.

[FATAL] Non-resolvable parent POM: Could not find any repositories that knew how to resolve com.oracle.....commons:service-pom:0.4.1-SNAPSHOT (checked http://central.maven.org/maven2/) @

Does anyone know if it's possible to configure Bazel with custom Maven settings?

Basically I'd just want Bazel to read my ~/.m2/settings.xml file -- if that's possible.

Thanks,

Svend

By the way. My build is Bazel build is dde6c53f9c4fee3ee5de18f8bf750dd47dba8112 from Sep 30. If that matters.

If you can temporarily edit your pom.xml, you could add a repositories section that points to your internal server (that's what we do in our tests, see https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/blob/master/src/test/shell/bazel/generate_workspace_test.sh#L99).  

Unfortunately, generate_workspace doesn't read your settings.xml file yet, so you're out of luck if you need authentication to connect to your intranet Maven server.  I've filed https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/issues/498 for that.

Thanks, that makes sense. Unfortunately it does seem like I need authentication. So that won't work.. Thanks for filing the bug.

I got it to work using the internal artifactory, so I don't actually need this anymore. But you'll probably want to fix it anyways for others. Just thought I'd let you know.

Okay, thanks for the update!
