Trying to use the Beta 10 and having problems with repositories. I've

failure to download for all dependencies.
I have maven installed on Linux in /usr/local/maven and have installed the JAR's in the repository there. I heard something about using a $user/.maven directory. On the only dependency that it managed to download, it decided to put that in the users own space.
Anyone got a definitive statement on what is the policy with local repositories ?
What I would expect would be to try the users home, and then $MAVEN_HOME, and then complain. What it *seems* to do is just check the users space. If this is correct, this would be no good for group working. I have a centralised repository and users shouldn't need to duplicate this (or even put in symlinks to the ones they need).
Any clues ?
The default value for maven.repo.local is now defined in the default.properties file and it has a value of:
${maven.home.local}/repository
This will default to
~/.maven/repository
So you can override the value of maven.repo.local to set it to whatever you desire but it now defaults to ~/.maven/repository to enable to use of shared repositories.
TIA
