Correct. Maven central was mirrored there, for the benefit of the
Eclipse Hudson jobs, so they didn't have to go out to central all the
time. I think maybe only a handfull of jobs are using it. You can
always just shut the url down, and send out a message to
cross-project-dev letting people know if they are using it for getting
Central artifacts, they need to update their poms.
No settings.xml is being used to my knowledge on any of the hudson
instances currently.

Why don't we discontinue mirroring the planet? Instead, since we have a proxy
server for the Hudson machines, we can enable caching there. That way the
benefit is much wider than just maven central.
I believe that the maven central part was supposed to be only for the benefit
of the local hudson slaves at Eclipse, rather than something which the server
was ever really designed to cope with. Unfortunately the 'build' URL included
it and I don't know if there is a way to update the settings that the MAven
jobs run on Hudson to point elsewhere. If we can get rid of it for something
else, so much the better.
Ultimately the http://maven.eclipse.org site should just make the Eclipse
hosted maven content available, and not include any other downstream
repositories. Or even better, hand it off to the CBI guys to maintain and look
after - it's not like the Maven server is used for anything other than the
maven-signing-plugin that was put together …
With the platform moving to CBI I suggest we let those POMs be part of the
published metadata and they can manage this instance.
