Is there an alternative to using the Maven Central repository?

Configuring Clover for Maven to use the Atlassian repository

The Atlassian repository is updated immediately when a new version of Clover is released.

1. Set up your .m2/settings.xml by adding:
   .m2/settings.xml

   ...
   <pluginGroups>
       <pluginGroup>com.atlassian.maven.plugins</pluginGroup>
   </pluginGroups>
   ...
   <profiles>
     <profile>
       <id>myprofile</id>
       <activation>
         <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
       </activation>
       ...
       <pluginRepositories>
         <pluginRepository>
           <releases><enabled>true</enabled></releases>
           <id>atlassian-m2-repository</id>
           <name>Atlassian Maven 2.x Repository</name>
           <url>http://repository.atlassian.com/maven2</url>
         </pluginRepository>
       </pluginRepositories>
       ...
     </profile>
   </profiles>
   

   to tell Maven where to look for the plugin, and
   .m2/settings.xml

   <profiles>
       ...
       <profile>
         <id>myprofile</id>
         <activation>
           <activeByDefault>true</activeByDefault>
         </activation>
         ...
         <properties>
           <maven.clover.licenseLocation>...path to your Clover license file...</maven.clover.licenseLocation>
         </properties>
         ...
      </profile>
      ...
   </profiles>
   

   to set a license location property which you can refer to from all your poms.
