strange with repository element in pom

[tong123123 <to...@yahoo.com.hk>]

at first, my pom has not the following repository
<repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>jboss-public-repository-group</id>
          <name>JBoss Public Maven Repository Group</name>
          <url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/</url>
          <layout>default</layout>
          <releases>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
            <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
          </releases>
          <snapshots>
            <enabled>true</enabled>
            <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
          </snapshots>
        </repository>

and the project has error that it cannot download hamcrest from http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2,
then I add the above JBoss repository to pom, delete the correponding folder in local repository and select the project > maven > update project, the 

hamcrest jar can download successfully.
Then I delete the latest downloaded hamcrest jar file in local repository and remove the JBoss repository element in the pom.
I expect the previous error will error, but out of my expectation, the hamcrest jar file can be downloaded even I already remove the JBoss repository element from the pom 

and delete the hamcrest jar file from local repository, why the hamcrest jar file can still be downloaded?

I'm guessing there was something in your local repo initially that made
this not work. Then you remove that and it now works. Very hard to tell
without detailed info.
The hamcrest artifacts are in central so you do not need the jboss repo for
that.
