This section will walk through the process of creating and configuring a hosted repository named "Procured Central" which will be procured from the "Maven Central" proxy repository. Setting up a procured repository consists of the following steps:
- Enabling Remote Index Downloads for a Proxy Repository
- Creating a Hosted Repository to be Procured
- Configuring Procurement for the Hosted Repository
- Configuring Procurement Rules
Before configuring a procured repository, you need to make sure that you have enabled Remote Index downloading for the proxied repository that will serve as the source for your procured repository.
Note
If you are attempting to procure artifacts from a remote repository which does not have a repository index, you can still use the procurement suite. Without a remote repository index, you will need to configure procurement rules manually without the benefit of the already populated repository tree shown in Section 8.12, “Configuring a Procurement Rule”.
