I was speaking to David yesterday and said I would raise a thread to see if there is a consistent approach that could be used for defining which repositories to use to download the dependencies for JBoss AS and the other smaller components. Personally I have had problems in the past trying to work with a single central configuration for repositories so I have been trying to avoid a central configuration as much as possible. For the actual AS build the repositories have been defined in the pom.xml so I was proposing a similar change for other modules that require some dependency from our Nexus repos e.g. https://github.com/darranl/jboss-dmr/commit/3b47d97410cdfd25845f1ff2399e1... Does this make sense for all the smaller projects where required or do we still want changes to be made to a local settings.xml just to be able to build?

CC'ing Paul Paul, You need to subscribe to jboss-as7-dev before replying... Everyone, The most recent thing I heard from Paul, is that pom.xml is the most practical way to solve the problem, and that the concerns previously raised about doing that are exaggerated. I'll let him clarify.
