Take about 10 steps back and a deep breath - the problem is that the security 
forces that be don't like the fact that anything can be placed up there 
(http://repo1.maven.org/maven2) and then pulled down.

In addition to this, why oh why is maven downloading something remotely that 
exist within our four walls?

How do I stop this?

Sorry, for jumping in here, but a common reason is to guarantee 
reproducible builds over a fairly long period of time. For example, the 
systems I´m engaged with have a typical lifetime of 15-20 years. When 
the software is considered stable after initial development, a team of 
maintenance developers will implement enhancements and fix bugs. These 
guys are typically responsible for several systems and have no time to 
hassle around with build tools. So the build process simply should work.

You cannot guarantee this, if your build relies on any form of external 
resource that is not under your direct control. Even if I use explicit 
version numbering for plugins and dependencies, the corresponding 
artifacts simply may disappear on iblio in five years from now. Or, 
another scenario, maybe the repository layout changes in Maven 3 or 4 
and "legacy" Maven 2 repositories are only supported until 2010. At this 
time it is to expensive and risky to upgrade the build process for a 
running mission-critical system to a completely new version of Maven. 
Nobody will fund this.
 
So, the only way to prevent this is to use strictly internal 
repositories. This means additional effort, of course, and only pays off 
if you really have use case for it. But these use cases certainly exist.

CU,

Gunther
