Maven get from Wrong repository

Question

I have problem with Maven. I can't download files from my Server Nexus installation. It always try to download from " https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 " but this repository does not appear in my settings.xml If i run Maven with "mvn -x" i can see that Maven read the Settings.xml from the correct place. I can't see where is my error¡

Here is my Settings.xml:

<settings xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/SETTINGS/1.0.0
                      https://maven.apache.org/xsd/settings-1.0.0.xsd">

Answer 1

It could be that the repository is defined in your pom, or some parent pom. If you want to avoid that, define a repository group in your own Nexus, add all relevant repositories to it and then mirror everything by that group (ie by using a * in the mirrorof settings).
