Repository questions

[Trevor Torrez <ja...@gmail.com>]

What is the best practice for using and declaring common internal
repositories at an organization?  Basically the organization has 3 main
repositories (central, internal for 3rd party non-redistributables and the
base library project 'deploy's, and snapshot for the base library project
SNAPSHOT 'deploy's), but projects may want to add additional 'deploy'
repositories.  How do the repository declarations merge between the
settings.xml and pom.xml?

Is there a way to quiet the dependency resolver down?  Having to see 7 or 10
"downloading failed" messages for every dependency is masking some resolve
errors.  And how do you tell maven to not resolve javadocs?
