I would like to avoid as many surprises in future with maven's
repositories so I need to figure out how and why a couple of things in
maven work.
For instance, why is there the seperation between plugin-repositories
and straight repositories?
Also, why the seperation of snapshots into their own repository?
Without knowing the answers to those questions, I am wondering how to
configure maven-proxy appropriately. Should I make maven-proxy proxy all
the repositories? Both release and snapshot repos?
And is it a good idea to configure a couple of the ibiblio mirrors into
maven-proxy as well, to minimise effects when ibiblio goes down?
Thanks
Adam
