Maven builds that use the GCS maven-central mirror should update their paths

@BanzaiMan FYI - I sent you an email, but should have also posted the message here. If you could update the default settings.xml file to use the new path, I can shutdown updating the old path.

Just wanted to let you know that I’ve updated the URL’s for the GCS maven mirror. The new paths should be updated 12 times / day for US, and 4 times / day for EU / Asia. (I’ll improve this in December). The existing URL’s will continue to operate for a while, but they are only being updated 1 / day and it’s a semi-manual operation.

To use add the following to your ~/.m2/settings.xml file:

Americas

<settings>
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>gcs-maven-central</id>
      <name>Cloud Storage Maven Central</name>
      <url>https://maven-central.storage-download.googleapis.com/maven2/</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
</settings>

EU

<settings>
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>gcs-maven-central</id>
      <name>Cloud Storage Maven Central</name>
      <url>https://maven-central-eu.storage-download.googleapis.com/maven2/</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
</settings>

Asia Pacific

<settings>
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
      <id>gcs-maven-central</id>
      <name>Cloud Storage Maven Central</name>
      <url>https://maven-central-asia.storage-download.googleapis.com/maven2/</url>
      <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
</settings>

We are currently mirroring the repo 12 times a day for the Americas bucket and 4 times to EU & Asia.

The mirror is created using the Storage Transfer Service. It
is currently hosted in a Google Cloud Storage
Multi-Regional storage bucket in the US.
