The only central repository that exists is ibiblio. You can have any number of remote repositories listed in the various properties files but the default remote repository is the only central repository. > >From the user guide, it says that the central repository is 'the host that > Maven will attempt to deploy the distribution to during a dist:deploy'. That's not entirely correct. The <distribution*/> elements in the POM are sort of misleading. You can deploy your artifacts to any remote repository and list any remote repository for use in properties files the project uses but generally folks want things deployed to ibiblio because it is the default remote repository. > However, I noticed that seems like only the deploy plugin uses the central > repo.

That's a misalignment that has happened organically. You should be able to deploy any artifact to any remote repository. If the remote repository is one of your making i.e. one that you host then that's no problem. Getting something on ibiblio requires a JIRA request. > To me, I would welcome a separate repo for deployment from the repo where > artifacts are downloaded.

This is when you setup your own remote repository for use for your purposes. You can deploy whatever you like to your own remote repository. For any projects that wish to use that remote repository you must simply include an entry for it in the project's properties files. Generally you would do so in your project.properties file. Something like: maven.repo.remote=http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/,http://my.company.com/maven/ > Any comments from Maven developers, or am I missing something?
