未使用 Maven settings.xml

Question

I am creating a maven module including a parent pom. This parent artifact is stored in a nexus maven repository. I added the nexus repository to my settings.xml. Now if I am building my child module I am getting and error: Could not find artifact test:my.parent:pom:1.0

It seems that the settings.xml is not used per default. If I add <repositories><repository><id>random</id><url>http://test/repository/maven-releases/</url></repository></repositories> to my childs pom everything works fine, the settings.xml is used and the parent artifact is found.

Am I missing anything that the settings.xml will be used per default or is this the expected behaviour? I do not want to add this random repo tag to every of my child poms.

Parent Pom:

  <groupId>test</groupId>
  <artifactId>my.parent</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <packaging>pom</packaging>

Modul Pom:

  <parent>
    <groupId>test</groupId>
    <artifactId>my.parent</artifactId>
    <version>1.0</version>
  </parent>

  <artifactId>my.module</artifactId>
  <version>1.0</version>
  <packaging>pom</packaging>

settings.xml

<settings>
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>Nexus</id>
      <url>http://mynexus:8081/repository/maven-group/</url>
      <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
<settings

As I know you can call maven by using IDE or command line.

If you are calling from IDE, check the settings if it is mapping to your settings.xml file

If you are using command line, you can check by using mvn --v and it shows you where your maven home is. Then you can check your settings file under conf/settings.xml
