I would suggest that the new tag could take an URL to specify a location that is not available in the remote or local repository. I know you can specify some properties to do that but I would like to have it in the POM.

Hi Maven devs, I think there's a need to allow specifying when some artifacts are only to be looked for in the local repository. For example, in a multiproject the local repository is used to share private artifacts between the subprojects. These private artifacts are not meant to be uploaded to a Maven remote repo. Currently, Maven tries to download them every time and the timeout (about 3 seconds for me) is a pain and is not normal. For example, this is what we get: +---------------------------------------- | Executing cargo:dist Cargo Sample for Ant | Memory: 8M/10M +---------------------------------------- Tentative de t?l?chargement de cargo-ant-0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar. Artifact /cargo/jars/cargo-ant-0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar doesn't exists in remote repository, but it exists locally Tentative de t?l?chargement de cargo-sample-java-0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar. Artifact /cargo/jars/cargo-sample-java-0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar doesn't exists in remote repository, but it exists locally Tentative de t?l?chargement de cargo-core-0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar. Artifact /cargo/jars/cargo-core-0.4-SNAPSHOT.jar doesn't exists in remote repository, but it exists locally One possible solution (backward compatible) would be to add a <local>true|false</local> (defaults to false) element to the <dependency> element. Would this be acceptable for CVS HEAD of m1? Is there something planned along these lines for m2?
