This resolver can resolve dependencies against several mirrors of the same repository. From a list of mirror urls, it will iteratively try to resolve the dependencies against each one.

# Attributes

This resolver shares the common attributes of standard resolvers.

Attribute | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
m2compatible | True if this resolver should be maven2 compatible, false otherwise | No, defaults to false
mirrorListUrl | The url where to retrive the list of mirror urls. | Yes

# Child elements

Element | Description | Cardinality
--- | --- | ---
ivy | defines a pattern for ivy files, using the pattern attribute | 0..n
artifact | defines a pattern for artifacts, using the pattern attribute | 1..n

# Example

Having the file mavenrepolist.txt content:

    http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/
    http://repo2.maven.org/maven2/

And the piece of settings:

    <mirroredurl name="mirrored-maven" m2compatible="true" mirrorListUrl="file:///Users/me/dev/repo/mavenrepolist.txt">
          <artifact pattern="[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
    </mirroredurl>

It will resolve first on the repo1 and if failing it will fall back on repo2.

The mirror list can be retrieved from a geo-location aware url:

    <mirroredurl name="mirrored-asf" mirrorListUrl="http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi">
      <ivy pattern="repo/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/ivy.xml" />
      <artifact pattern="repo/[organisation]/[module]/[revision]/[artifact]-[revision].[ext]" />
    </mirroredurl>
