Section "2. Get the external jars into a public Maven repository" adds an additional <repository> to the pom.xml. This is usually bad pratice and should be avoided. Brian Fox wrote a detailed blog post [1] about this. Maybe you could link to this post and mentione, that putting the additional repo in your settings.xml is an alternative. Thanks for your efforts for the maven community and hth, - martin [1] http://www.sonatype.com/people/2009/02/why-putting-repositories-in-your-poms-is-a-bad-idea/
