Description:
My project contains several dependencies that are not yet (or never will be) available from ibiblio.  It would be useful to have an indication on the dependency page to distinguish these entries.

As each environment has its own opinion of where dependencies come from, and thus what is and isn't "custom", this would require a property named something like "maven.repo.remote.official" to store the project's opinion of standard repository locations.


I can see this being implemented in one of two different ways:

1) At time of page generation, check whether each dependency exists in one of the official/standard repository locations.  If in off-line mode, don't check and don't render any indication.

2) At time of dependency download, store extra information in the local repository detailing where the file came from.  At page generation time, check these values instead.


The first option is quick and easy, but requires network access which will slow a build down.  The second option is more "correct", but requires a (minor) change to a core Maven process.  The second option may become out-of-sync with reality if a "custom" library is added - the local repository wouldn't be aware of this.
