关于Maven settings.xml文件配置的mirror导致Failure to find xxx jar问题

听同事说过mirror是按顺序去下载jar包的，其实这句话是不严谨的，我是排查验证了这个问题，然后去网上检索了下答案：maven配置多个mirror时，只有当一个mirror连接不上才会启用下个mirror。
下面记录下我排查问题的过程：
package打包异常：[ERROR] Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Failure to find org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.6 in http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/ was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of geo has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

尝试解决：删除对应本地的Maven jar包，重新下载依赖打包

报错：Plugin org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:2.6 or one of its dependencies could not be resolved: Could not find artifact org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-resources-plugin:jar:2.6 in geo (http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/)
本质还是找不到这个jar包
                        
来回来回折腾，大概发现了问题：在我的第一个镜像中总是下载不到这个jar包，差不多只是创建了个空文件夹
原因：maven配置的镜像顺序以这个开头，在这个镜像中无法找到而这个镜像又是可连接的：
<mirror>
<id>geo</id>
<name>geo</name>
<url>http://download.osgeo.org/webdav/geotools/</url>
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
</mirror>

答案：配置为阿里的镜像开头：
<mirror>  
<id>alimaven</id>  
<name>aliyun maven</name>  
<url>http://maven.aliyun.com/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>  
<mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>          
</mirror>
