Instead of just adding the JBoss repository to your repositories in a pom.xml. Your best bet here is going to be to install a repository manager, add all the repositories you need to a repository group, and then configure your settings.xml to use a single repository group URL.
If you do this, you'll speed up your builds because Maven will only need to query a single URL when trying to locate an artifact, and you'll be able to search the group of repositories you have included in your repository manager. 1. Download a repository manager 2. Add http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/ as a proxy repository 3. Add it to a repository group 4. Configure your Maven settings to use a single repo group as a mirrorOf * An additional benefit is that you will no longer need to use mavensearch.net which isn't as full featured as any of the search capabilities already present in the three main repository managers. Because the JBoss repository already generates the standard lucene-based index format, you can just use the search capabilities of your IDE plugin or your repo manager to search the repositories your are using. Make sure to configure your repository manager to download the remote index for the JBoss repository manager.
