In order to set up multiple image repositories, you need to configure them in the settings.xml file of Maven. The steps to configure multiple image repositories are as follows:

  1. Open the Maven configuration file settings.xml. Typically, this file is located in the conf directory under the Maven installation directory, or it can also be found in the .m2 directory in the user’s home directory.
  2. Add multiple elements within the element, with each element representing the configuration of a mirror repository. For example:
<mirrors>
  <mirror>
    <id>mirrorId1</id>
    <url>http://mirror1.example.com</url>
    <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
  </mirror>
  <mirror>
    <id>mirrorId2</id>
    <url>http://mirror2.example.com</url>
    <mirrorOf>central</mirrorOf>
  </mirror>
</mirrors>

In the above example, we have configured two mirror repositories, mirrorId1 and mirrorId2, with URLs http://mirror1.example.com and http://mirror2.example.com respectively, both set as mirrors for the central repository.

  1. configuration file named settings.xml

After configuration is completed, Maven will choose to download dependencies based on the configuration of the mirror repository. If one mirror repository cannot be accessed properly, Maven will try to use another mirror repository.
