intellij idea specify repository for downloading sources

Question

It seems that question can be related to How to automatically attach source code for dependency in Intellij? but it`s not in full manner.

In debug mode I'm getting into decompiled file and idea ask me to download or set the path to sources.

For resolving I'm using some nexus repository which aggregates different vendors public jars (proxy repositories,reuploaded jars and etc). Unfortunately it contains jars but very often it doesn't contain sources or javadocs.

But at the same time vendors' repositories contain sources. After clicking "download" button - I can see that idea try to find sources only in "oss.sonatype.org" repository.

So is any ability to set the list of repositories where Idea can search sources?

IntelliJ will respect your normal Maven configuration. You can define repositories in the actual pom.xml or in your maven user setting under ~/.m2/settings.xml. See https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-multiple-repositories.html
