Assaf Arkin commented on BUILDR-288:
------------------------------------
Changing the default could be good -- if you meant to do it anyway -- or bad if
you don't want to use stuff from maven.org and you might not be aware it's
happening because dependencies that should fail now "silently succeed". It's
possible to remove, but it's likely that people will not remove that which
silently succeeds, and so the question is "how bad would it for some people to
accidentally get code from maven.org"?

> Project: Buildr
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Dependency management
> Reporter: Daniel Spiewak
> Fix For: 1.3.5

> Almost every buildfile I have ever created starts with the following line:
> repositories.remote << 'http://repo1.maven.org/maven2'
> We already add the scala-tools.org repository to the list when 'buildr/scala'
> is required, so why not the official, canonical repository at maven.org? I
> think that new users especially would find this more intuitive. There is no
> real loss of flexibility since it is always possible to *remove* a repository
> from the array if it becomes necessary.
