BTW, I tried to investigate that for core Cayenne dependencies still sitting on 
objectstyle.org. Central has a requirement to have a -src and -javadoc 
artifacts submitted with the binary. This is a reasonable expectation for an 
open source project, but in practice it means a bit of an effort to prepare a 
compatible distro.

E.g. it took some time to even find the SVN for Hessian: 
svn://svn.caucho.com/resin/ And now I have to checkout everything to find the 
sources for the right version of Hessian, the figure out how to build it. 

But in case of Eclipse and friends that seems moot, as it is all in their p2 
repositories already. So it is a question of an appropriate adapter, like 
Tycho. (this is my assumption anyways; I am not an Eclipse dev of course). 

Some more googling shows that Nexus Professional can proxy p2 repos 
(http://www.sonatype.com/books/nexus-book/reference/p2.html), which is not very 
helpful either (we don't have a "canonical" install of Nexus Professional).
