I'm still a bit confused though... can't I define my repository in a parent.pom ? Why isn't this the preferred approach? Would seem to make sense to me - users check out a parent project from cvs. Run mvn install, put the parent pom in their repo. All new projects use this parent pom definition where the company's internal repo is definied.
