Hello Maven users, By this guide<http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html>it seems to be forbidden to upload artifacts to central with POMs that reference other repositories, so that central repo is self-contained. Even with this rule there seem to be many artifacts on central which reference non-central repositories. Dependencies report mojo from maven-project-info-reports plugin seems to pick up these repositories declared in dependencies too, displaying build-hanging warnings on them like
"[WARNING] The repository url 'http://maven.springframework.org/external' is invalid - Repository 'spring-external' will be blacklisted." (btw http://maven.springframework.org/external repository is defined in org.springframework.ws:spring-ws-parent) Will central be cleaned up from these artifacts? Is there an issue where one could report such invalid POMs? Is the policy regarding repository references different when external repositories are being synced to central? Regards, Stevo.
