Unable to scan repository (ProcessTimeoutException) with bamboo-specs and linked repository
Asked by Roy van de Korput:

Hi all,

I'm trying to experiment with Bamboo Specs (java) with a Linked Repository. But i'm getting a "Unable to scan repository" caused by ProcessTimeoutException.  
If I run my bamboo-spec from IntelliJ IDEA I can successfully publish my plan. But setting it up from a Linked Repository it fails.

body: I don't have access to the Bamboo server so I cannot try it. I know our build agent don't have internet access. Not sure about the bamboo server itself.

We have a nexus server running in our network to mirror maven-central. I have set this up on my local win user profile .m2/settings.xml.

I don't see any documentation if I can also add this to the POM.xml of my bamboo specs project. All google hits say you should do it via user profile or at global maven installation. But I don't have access to this.

Bamboo will run Specs build in the machine hosting Bamboo instead of the remote agent.

Modify the file **\<bamboo-install\>/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-specs-pom.xml** in the machine hosting Bamboo

author: Rasti
body: [@jianbo qu](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3698678) you should go to your Bamboo server instance and modify the bamboo-specs-pom.xml file to customize the POM in a way you need. In my case is the path /opt/atlassian/bamboo/atlassian-bamboo/WEB-INF/classes/bamboo-specs-pom.xml

Check if the machine hosting Bamboo able to access the above URL
