Dependency Management, Prioritize Repositories - Internal, Central, etc.

["Roye, Suhneel BGI SF" <Su...@barclaysglobal.com>]

Problem:
I have a custom JAR (built by our team) installed in my local
repository, and yet every time I do a build, Maven attempts to download
it from Central (iBiblio) before realizing it's located in my local
repository. I would like to prevent Maven from attempting to download
this JAR from Central every time I do a build.

Existing Solution:
Has anyone successfully dealt with this problem? I've seen several
threads on this topic without any resolution. I do not want to override
Central or disable downloading of JAR's from Central.

Potential Solution:
I would like to be able to specify the order in which Maven looks up
repositories. I would like for it to first look in my local repository,
then at a shared (corporate) repository, and finally go out to the
Central (iBiblio) repository.

There was another thread about this topic a while back:

I also don't like this behaviour (it slows down the build) but haven't
found a solution.

Another potential solution could be to have Maven only check for
updates on repositories where it has previously found the artifact.
