Disable download for a single dependency

Question

I am downright annoyed because the Quartz release I'm importing does not have a proper POM file deployed (maven repo).

Therefore maven dutifully tries to download it on every build.

Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/opensymphony/quartz/1.6.3/quartz-1.6.3.pom

I'd like to skip this step but without going completely offline since that is useful.

Ideas?

Answer 1

Add an additional repository, with this artifact and make sure the POM is correct. This way the main repo POM will be overridden. You can run repository manager such as artifactory or nexus locally
