Thanks Jason, They are clear. Here is my further questions:
1. local repository store artifacts from both central repository and snapshot repository, right? 2. dependency can be pre-released artifacts stored in snapshot repository? 3. distribution repository = internal repository? 4. If I want to setup my project with external repository and internal repository and I want to have the looking up order to be local->internal->external, what should I do? Further more, I hope all artifacts download from external repository be stored in internal repository automatically. Does maven-proxy designed for this? But does that mean I have to distribute my released artifacts to a proxy which seems weird to me?

A remote repository inside your firewall i.e a repostory not on your machine but in the confines of your organization. You might have internal release/snapshot repos as well. > 7. distribution repository Usually an internal repository where you deploy your artifacts. Here again you may have release/snapshot repositories. This might help as well: http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html > Regards, > Green > -- jvz.
