The recommended best practice is _not_ to define repos in your poms. This issue you ran into is only one of many reasons why. You can search the dev list for more discussions. The best way is to define your repos in your settings file.

My project's parent POM defines the internal repository - the same repository where the parent POM is located. So there is no way for Maven to get the parent POM. Is there any way to specify a repository URL on the command line so Maven can download the parent POM? I searched the mailing list archives and the Maven website, as well as the general Internet, but turned up nothing. -- Daniel Siegmann FJA-US, Inc. 512 7th Ave. 15th Flr.
