I did some extensive tests with `-Dmaven.repo.local.tail` and although is works well for compiling, testing etc, some plugins simply don't work (namely the [Quarkus Maven Plugin](https://quarkus.io/guides/quarkus-maven-plugin) in my case)... My experiments were based on the fact that having N repos mapped as "tail" local repos seemed analogous to declaring N repositories via `file://`, but without all the execution, configuration, and disk usage overhead. Unfortunately I think symlinks would be much easier for Maven plugin developers to adapt to. Symlinks might also even work out of the box in some cases. In fact, some of the tests I did with `cp -r -s` worked quite ok. It seems this will be a trade-off between how unsupported `-Dmaven.repo.local.tail` is VS. how unsupported symlinks on local maven repos are. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
