why should maven tell you that a downloaded artifact was only inlocal repo

[Colin Sampaleanu]

If an artifact is not available in the remote repo(s), but is available 
in the local repo, and downloaded from there, maven tells you so. It's 
perfectly normal for some artifacts to only be availble locally, say if 
you created them yourself and did an install.

Why should maven draw attention to the fact that it's coming from the 
local repo? This is somewhat annoying, especially when you use 
snapshots, since the snapshot will attempt to be downloaded every single 
time you do anything with maven. So if your snapshots are only in the 
local repo, you will get a message for every snapshot artifact saying it 
is only in the local repo.

I am willing to create a patch to remove this message, if other people 
agree that the message is undesireable.

(As an aside, it would probably be good to enhance maven to support a 
command-line option or property which shows where and how artifacts are 
searched for and downloaded, to be able to resolve problem situations.)
