Question about remote repository properties

[Ri...@ubs.com]

Hi all,

Hope you don't mind, I am new to Maven and have a quick question to confirm my understanding.

I am currently trying to set up a remote repository, and have been confused by the various properties that relate to remote repository use, particularly as even when I thought I had set up the properties correctly, my maven installation was attempting to access ibiblio.org to download a dependency.

Am I correct in thinking the following:
	maven.repo.remote is a list of repositories from which dependencies are downloaded.
	maven.repo.list may be used to define a list of remote repositories to deploy artifacts to.

If this is true, what is maven.repo.central used for? 

Also, I presume I should add the first repository in my maven.repo.list to the maven.repo.remote list in order to ensure that my artifacts are downloaded from my internal (remote) repository before there is any attempt to resolve them at external repositories, such as ibiblio.org?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Richard.

it is a legacy property. If only that is specified, it is the
equivalent of a single repository in maven.repo.list, using the scp
method.
