# Maven Sync Setup
_Reposilite_-based Maven Repository Manager acting as a caching proxy.

## Downloading packages
Run the following command:

```sh
./run.sh
```

This starts the reposilite server, then starts maven and makes download all packages defined in the pom's in the `poms/` folder, including their dependencies. These packages are then cached by reposilite in `data/`. The relevant folders are turned into tarballs and saved in the root directory.

## Adding packages
### Automatically
New packages can be added to the `package-list.txt` file. The group ID and artifact ID are required, but the version is optional. If the version number is omitted the latest version is found. Run `./update-poms.sh` to generate the pom files from the package file.
The root `pom.xml` file is updated automatically.

### Manually
Pom files can be added manually by creating a folder with a `pom.xml` file in the `poms/` folder.

After the `pom.xml` is created, run `./generate_master_pom.xml` to update the root `pom.xml` file, and commit the changes.

This structure is necessary to make dependabot find all dependencies.
