Two things come to mind immediately: (1) Why should I require extra manual configuration for Hibernate when I don't for a multitude of other Java dependencies? The other side of this is that Maven is less than graceful in dealing with multiple repositories, with artifact searching being a dumb linear search across each configured URL. (2) Maven2 lacks any mechanism for managing same-named artifacts in different repositories. For that reason, in the interests of being vaguely confident in my build reproducability, I try to avoid third-party repositories, or at least only use those that are strictly limited to offering only their own organisation's artifacts. The jboss repo seems to be some weird hybrid between a mirror of central, an upstream distribution point for jboss projects, and a bunch of duplicated/additional artifacts under non-standard names.
