-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The "dependencies will be downloaded" from a "central repository" is Maven 101. The problem I ran into was "this is your build machine. it has NO connectivity outside this room". Corner case? Oh, yeah... but it shows where the "Maven 101" logic falls short (dreadfully short).
Add to that - I am currently trying to build my Eclipse environment from scratch (yes, again - this makes 4 Eclipse installs all for different reasons/versions) and lo and behold - I cannot get the Maven plugin. Why? Codehaus is down. Corner case? Not at all. Blue Security (one example) took down sites recently (wanna piss of some spammers?). Servers go down. Connections drop. And the impact of this spreads exponentially as the "dependencies will be downloaded" concept grows. Good idea, but I don't believe "retired" is a good word to use. Possibly "used in addition to"?
