However I am not able to locate some blogs I used to read before. Do you have any reference to this best practice? Very much appreciated -D

There is another thread about re-organising the documentation. The User Centre (http://maven.apache.org/users/index.html) docs are pretty thin, but I would expect this advice to land in there. Or perhaps the Run Maven Configuring Maven ( http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-configuring-maven.html) has a section on Mirrors that links to http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html. The first sentence says Repositories are declared inside a project, which means that if you have your own custom repositories, those sharing your project easily get the right settings out of the box. which runs against the current advice. Unfortunately those mini-guides dont have a hierarchy available on the left hand navigation page and hacking the URL to drop of the last path just gives a blank page.
