Not really. I run Maven at home perfectly fine without a MRM, but at work I would not consider working without a MRM setup. Lets look at this another way, Do you allow people who dont know the road rules to drive on your roads? Cars are certainly easy enough to drive without much of a clue, but do you want people on your roads like that? Maven is no different. If the stuff is not in Central then there has to be something to explain to people how to go about obtaining them from somewhere else. Maven makes it easier to consume this stuff but its no magic sauce your pour over your build and expect things to start working. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
