aah, that would be in the docs that I havent generated.
You can declare a repository like this:-
<mavenrepository url="http://some-http-server"; />
we default to ibibio.
You should be able to refer to an existing repository, but that bit is broken. I think I was trying to be too clever
Repository is abstract
HttpRepository extends Repository is also abstract
MavenRepository extends HttpRepository - this is the one that is declared as an ant datatype
RepositoryRef extends Repository -this is only used for ref resolution
But ref resolution is broken. I think if I made repository un abstract but had its fetch() method throw a fault all would be well.
We dont support non-http(s) repositories (IMO, file repositories should be allowed too)

that is precisely what you want when you have a project creating different artefacts

if the dest file exists, its timestamp is used in the if-modified-since header of the get request; not-modified files are not downloaded. It does not yet parse the timestamp of the response message and set the file time to it, which is something to consider.

Nothing explicit. If you have a version like "NIGHTLY", "LATEST" then that would get pulled down and timestamp checking would pick up later changes.
