I didn't mean down like removed, but simply temporarily (a few days maybe) unreachable.. That would be problematic for all the people trying to reach the default remote repository.
If you are deploying a single project that has very specific dependencies,
then sure, put them in your own repository. However, if your project depends on artifacts made by others then it helps to get them up on ibiblio because it reduces load on your servers and others can use them as well in there projects.
Ok that makes sense.
Most plugins where bundled in with the maven install. Over time, plugins
have been broken out, like Torque, and returned to the project they came from. However, many of them, like Torque, are waiting for their next release to be cut to be put online at ibiblio. I think over time you will see more plugins on ibiblio.
Over time ok, but what if I had a dependence on it, worked fine with RC 1, and suddenly stops working with RC 2 ? I guess this is where my "personal remote repository" comes into place...
Thanks for the very quick answers !
