Can I reach Maven central through Azure DevOps artifacts from a private hosted agent?

I am working from a private network, trying to a buildpipeline for a Maven project. To work with tools on our private network I am trying to use a Private Hosted Agent. Now I know there are some restrictions on reaching Maven Central from our network, normally we use a proxy through Nexus for this.

With the new Maven Upstream feature in Azure artifacts I thought I could use this as a 'proxy'.

Unfortunately the build is failing, it seems to try and reach Maven Central directly (not using my feed) which naturally fails. Below my output and settings

My settings.xml

Pom.Xml, part1

Pom.xml part2

Yaml Pipeline

And finally my build output:

Can I reach Maven central through Azure DevOps artifacts from a private hosted agent?

The answer should be yes.

The reason why it still reach Maven Central directly is that all pom files inherit from the maven super POM:

http://maven.apache.org/ref/3.0.4/maven-model-builder/super-pom.html

which contains this entry:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>central</id>
        <name>Central Repository</name>
        <url>http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
        <layout>default</layout>
        <snapshots>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </snapshots>
    </repository>
</repositories>

So, we could overwrite it in your pom with Azure DevOps artifacts:

<repositories>
    <repository>
        <id>central</id>
        <url>https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/xxx/xxx</url>
        <releases>
            <enabled>false</enabled>
        </releases>
    </repository>
</repositories>

<pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
        <id>central</id>
        <url>https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/xxx/xxx</url>
        <releases><enabled>false</enabled></releases>
    </pluginRepository>
</pluginRepositories>

Or you can use the maven Mirrors to to replace a particular repository with your own internal repository.

Check more details about this issue, please check this ticket.

Besides, you could also set the Proxies in the your pom.

Hope this helps.
