Hi Everyone, The current behaviour in Maven is that the central repository is built into the code, and it's there unless you hack your settings.xml to disable it. This can be a bit confusing when trying to configure your settings for a repository manager. And it's not immediately clear what order is used when new repositories are added to the settings.
Would there be any problems if the central repo definition was moved out of the Maven internals and into the default settings.xml [1]? It seems like that would keep the central repo available for a fresh Maven install, but also make it easier to control the settings for the central repo. But maybe there is some problem that I'm missing.
