Exactly. Maven assumes that all non-SNAPSHOT dependencies are already available in the repository, and Just Works (TM) when that's the case. No need for custom install/deploy steps. BTW, this is also Maven users are so eager to see things like Lucene jars on Maven central, and why having the Hadoop project deploy their jars is better than each downstream project deploying their own copies.
