I asked Google about 'maven internal repository' and it turned up: http://maven.apache.org/reference/internal-repositories.html
It's at the top level of the site, so I'd expect it to apply to m2, but it doesn't seem to. I need to set up an internal repository to be accessed with file:// . I think this might have what I need... http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-multiple-repositories.html If that's not it, where else should I look? Thanks, -- Wendy
