Do you do anything similar? Are there drawbacks? What is the recommended
approach? We do the same thing here, we have set up an internal repository for both library dependencies and plugin dependencies (1 central repo). We use maven-proxy instead of proximity to feed the internal repo. But developers use the network share to use the internal repo (we wanted to avoid that developers must have access to internet in order to perform a build). Management of the internal repo is done by a separate person/team with maven-proxy.
