Thanks, I'll look into that. As a side question is it possible to define the local repository in the pom.xml rather than in the settings.xml? I'm pretty sure this was possible in m1, just not sure how to do it in m2.
The reasoning behind this (from a CM perspective at least) is that if a jar can't be retrieved from the remote repository into the project's local cache then the build should fail. The reason it should fail is because if someone had a clean machine where they had never tried to build the project, the build would fail for them, thus the build isn't reproducible. Basically what I'm trying to avoid is mixing jar's from two or more branches of a project into a single local repository. I'd rather each branch use a separate local cache so that I know I'm not accidentally grabbing jars from a newer version.

We're not going to be changing Maven internally where the remote repo is the local repo as well.
