Configuring a Maven project to access a private repository requires setting up a name/password pair in the settings.xml file and associating the name/password with a specific repository which is defined in the project's pom.xml.

Items 1 and 2 below give the syntax of the entries for both the settings.xml and pom.xml files.  It is important to note the following:

• 1. The <id> element that is used in both the setting.xml (found in the <server> element) and the pom.xml (found in the <repository> element) is what associates the name/password pair with the private repository.  The <id> element in both places must be identical.  It can be anything you want it to be, the only restriction is that they must be identical.
     
     
  2. In the settings.xml, the <password> element must be the Team list name that was given to you when you received your repository confirmation.  Refer to the PREREQUISITES section above.
     
     
  3. In the settings.xml, the <username> element must be build#string.
