We have maven builds that use plugin “maven-antrun-plugin-1.8”. When the maven-antrun-pluglin task is executed it first checks the external apache snapshot repository " repository.apache.org/snapshots]" for internal artifacts then checks our internal nexus3 repository “repository.company.com” for the same internal artifact.
Problem occurs when the external apache repository is not available the build times out with status code “503”.
Is it possible to configure nexus to stop attempting to download internal artifacts from an external repository?
