As stated in my title.  
My test Sonatype Nexus Repository Manager OSS 3.24.0-02 is not caching components/artifacts in the proxy repo.

I setup a test instance to try to see how the repo manager would work without internet connectivity.

steps I did:

setup new instance  
setup a proxy repo pointing to maven central  
ran “mvn -X -e package” with my pom.xml pointing to my proxy repo.

pom.xml:

 junit junit 4.12 compile maven\_proxy http://172.X.X.X:8081/repository/maven\_proxy/ maven\_proxy http://172.X.X.X:8081/repository/maven\_proxy/ maven\_proxy http://172.X.X.X:8081/repository/maven\_proxy/ 

The maven command runs successfully, I see the logs stating that its pointing to my proxy repo.  
However when I go to the repo manager and check the proxy repo its still empty.

My thought would be once I run the above mvn command the junit contents would be available in the proxy repo, then I would remove internet access to the nexus server and try to re-run the mvn command and see the effects and make note. My company is moving to a secured network where we wont have internet access and I was tasked to see how that would affect nexus.

But I’m new to nexus overall, so I feel like im missing something.

Any help/guidance would be appreciated
