These are applied to sub-artifacts only. Note: to achieve 1.7.x `aether.checksums.forSignature=true` behaviour, pass empty string as value for this property. | `.asc` | no
`aether.checksums.algorithms` | String | Comma-separated list of checksum algorithms with which checksums are validated (downloaded) and generated (uploaded). Resolver by default supports following algorithms: `MD5`, `SHA-1`, `SHA-256` and `SHA-512`. New algorithms can be added by implementing `ChecksumAlgorithmFactory` component. | `"SHA-1,MD5"` | no

`aether.connector.http.preemptiveAuth` | boolean | Should HTTP client use preemptive-authentication for all HTTP verbs (works only w/ BASIC). By default is disabled, as it is considered less secure. | `false` | yes

`aether.connector.http.useSystemProperties` | boolean | If enabled, underlying Apache HttpClient will use system properties as well to configure itself (typically used to set up HTTP Proxy via Java system properties). See <a href="https://hc.apache.org/httpcomponents-client-4.5.x/current/httpclient/apidocs/org/apache/http/impl/client/HttpClientBuilder.html">HttpClientBuilder</a> for used properties. This mode is **not recommended**, better use documented ways of configuration instead. | `false` | yes

`aether.dependencyCollector.pool.artifact` | String | Flag controlling interning data pool type used by dependency collector for Artifact instances, matters for heap consumption.

Supported values: `"hard"`, `"weak"`. | `"weak"` | no
`aether.dependencyCollector.pool.dependency` | String | Flag controlling interning data pool type used by dependency collector for Dependency instances, matters for heap consumption. By default uses "weak" references (consume less heap). Using "hard" will make it much more memory aggressive and possibly faster (system and Java dependent). Supported values: `"hard"`, `"weak"`. | `"weak"` | no
`aether.dependencyCollector.pool.descriptor` | String | Flag controlling interning data pool type used by dependency collector for Artifact Descriptor (POM) instances, matters for heap consumption. By default uses "hard" references (consume more heap, but is faster). Using "weak" will make resolver much more memory conservative, at the cost of up to 10% slower collecting dependency speed (system and Java dependent). Supported values: `"hard"`, `"weak"`. | `"hard"` | no
`aether.dependencyManager.verbose` | boolean | Flag controlling the verbose mode for dependency management. If enabled, the original attributes of a dependency before its update due to dependency managemnent will be recorded in the node's `DependencyNode#getData()` when building a dependency graph. | `false` | no

If set, an extension's built-in priority as well as any corresponding `aether.priority.<class>` configuration properties are ignored when searching for a suitable implementation among the available extensions.

All properties which have `yes` in the column `Supports Repo ID Suffix` can be optionally configured specifically for a repository id. In that case the configuration property needs to be suffixed with a period followed by the repository id of the repository to configure, e.g. `aether.connector.http.headers.central` for repository with id `central`.

## Property Type Conversion

If the value is not given in the target type the following conversions are applied.

From | To | With
--- | --- | ---
`String` | `boolean` | [`Boolean.parseBoolean(...)`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Boolean.html#parseBoolean(java.lang.String))
`String` | `int` | [`Integer.parseInt(...)`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Integer.html#parseInt(java.lang.String))
`String` | `long` | [`Long.parseLong(...)`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Long.html#parseLong(java.lang.String))
`String` | `float` | [`Float.parseFloat(...)`](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/Float.html#parseFloat(java.lang.String))

## Set Configuration from Apache Maven

To set one of the configuration options from above just use system variables. As system variables only support String values the type conversion mentioned above needs to be leveraged.
Sometimes Maven uses different default values than the Maven Resolver itself or tries to extract certain values from the `settings.xml`. For details refer to <https://github.com/apache/maven/blob/master/maven-core/src/main/java/org/apache/maven/internal/aether/DefaultRepositorySystemSessionFactory.java>.
