[maven] How to tell Maven to disregard SSL errors (and trusting all certs)?

I frequently need to run "mvn" command :

mvn -f pom.xml clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=false --settings /Users/myhome/settings.xml -X -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=/Users/myhome/truststore.jks -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStoreType=JKS -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=dummy -Djava.protocol.handler.pkgs=com.sun.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol -U

As I need to integrate with various other domains, so currently every time I have to add their certificate to my truststore.jks to prevent SSL handshake errors.

Is there any way I can configure mvn to ignore SSL errors.

You can also configure m2e to use HTTP instead of HTTPS

force-m2e-to-use-http-instead-of-https

Create a folder ${USER_HOME}/.mvn and put a file called maven.config in it.

The content should be:

-Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.insecure=true
-Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.allowall=true
-Dmaven.wagon.http.ssl.ignore.validity.dates=true

Hope this helps.

An alternative that worked for me is to tell Maven to use http: instead of https: when using Maven Central by adding the following to settings.xml:

<settings>
   .
   .
   .
  <mirrors>
    <mirror>
        <id>central-no-ssl</id>
        <name>Central without ssl</name>
        <url>http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2</url>
        <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>
  </mirrors>
   .
   .
   .
</settings>

Your mileage may vary of course.
