In Maven 1.0, there is a maven.repo.remote property that allows you to select what repositories to search on a per-project basis. Maven 1.1 will allow this to be in the project.xml file, but is still on a per-project basis. The user can always override this to ensure only an internal repository is used. I don't see the need to have this on a per-dependency basis. But, this is getting OT :) Cheers, Brett
