Drools WorkBench Settings.xml add remote Repository

Question

I'm getting the following error in drools workbench:

I think the issue is that the project is trying to take out the dependencies from "repo1.maven.org" and "repo.maven.apache.org" when I need the project to download the dependencies from a my costum repository.

For that I followed this aproaches:

1. Add variables to JAVA_OPTS in startup:

-Dorg.guvnor.m2repo.dir=/opt/jboss/.m2/repository

-Dkie.maven.settings.custom=/opt/jboss/.m2/settings.xml

-Dorg.appformer.m2repo.url=https://scdvlcfs02.stc.com.sa/nexus/repository/celfocus-maven-group

2. Add the following lines to standalone-full.xml with JAVA_OPTS variable org.kie.workbench.profile=FULL

    <system-properties>
        <property name="org.guvnor.m2repo.dir" value="/opt/jboss/.m2/repository" />
        <property name="org.appformer.m2repo.url" value="https://scdvlcfs02.stc.com.sa/nexus/repository/celfocus-maven-group" />
        <property name="kie.maven.settings.custom" value="/opt/jboss/.m2/settings.xml" />
    </system-properties>

Of course I have also added the settings.xml in "/opt/jboss/.m2/settings.xml", with the following content:

<settings>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <id>drools-maven</id>
      <username>${env.KIE_MAVEN_REPO_USER}</username>
      <password>${env.KIE_MAVEN_REPO_PASSWORD}</password>
    </server>
  </servers>

  <profiles>
    <profile>
      <id>default</id>
      <activation>
        <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
      </activation>
      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>drools-maven</id>
          <name>Drools Maven Repository</name>
          <url>${env.KIE_MAVEN_REPO}</url>
        
          <!-- Include these to always update the repository -->
          <releases>
            <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
          </releases>
          <snapshots>
            <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
          </snapshots>
        </repository>
      </repositories>
    </profile>
  </profiles>
</settings>

But still drools workbench continues to try to do the client handshake with "repo1.maven.org" and "repo.maven.apache.org". Any ideas?

I'm in this issue for a week and completely lost. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

It seems that we cannot deny drools(jboss) to not look into Maven central.

I mantained in settings xml the configurations for Maven central and my costum repository.

Then I fixed this issue by putting in POM <scope>provided</scope> in all dependencies required to be dowloaded from my costum repository
