[m2.0.x] Any way to give hints to change the order of repos for downloads per artifact?

[Alex Karasulu <ao...@bellsouth.net>]

Hi,

Problem Description
-----------------------

I have a few repositories some of which are for snapshots and others for 
release jars.  Right now downloads will hit each server for each 
artifact when the artifact is only on one of these servers.  This slows 
down the build and it also makes for a lot of noise on the console.  
Furthermore I think it needlessly pumps out a lot of [WARNING] messages 
which the user can be spared.

Possible Solution
--------------------

If there was a way to optionally label a dependency with a preferred 
repository, then maven could bump that repository to the head of the 
list while trying to download the artifact.  This way a pom can be fine 
tuned to reduce the unnecessary lookups for artifacts at repositories 
that definitely don't host the artifact.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Alex
