maven properties questions

["Frey, John (MED)" <Jo...@med.ge.com>]

Does anyone know what these properties are used for ?....
 
maven.repo.central = login.ibiblio.org
maven.repo.central.directory = /public/html/maven

I can't find any documentation on them. Also if someone could put
together a complete set of documentation on all of maven's properties
and what they're used for it would be very helpful... 
 
I found many undocumented properties in the driver.properties file of
beta-7 yet I can't find this file in beta-8. Why?

Are you volunteering? I will help you with those docs. I love demanding
users who are willing to help.

That's because we hid it in the JAR so people don't edit it and shoot
themselves in the face.

maven.repo.central is where the deploy targets deploy to. So to clarify:

Dependencies get searched for at
  maven.repo.local
If they are not found, or they are snapshots, they get searched for and 
pulled down from
  maven.repo.remote
and get placed into local. Note that it is possible to have more than 
one remote repo defined, separated by commans.Then when you use one of 
the 'x:install' targets, like
  jar:install
the artifact is placed in the local repo (maven.repo.local). When you do 
one of the 'x:deploy' targets, like
  jar:deploy
the artifact is placed into the repo defined by
  maven.repo.central
which is presumably one of the remote repos (the normal value is 
ibiblio). As to why this is a separate value than maven.repo.remote, the 
reason is presumably because first of all maven.repo.remote can contain 
more than one value, and also the deploy code uses SSH's scp, so the 
location has to be specified in a format suitable for scp, not http: or 
file: as normally used in maven.repo.remote.

Hope this clears things up...
