Yes, I created this wiki page to show some stuff you should put into settings.xml. http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=MavenSettings I recommend creating a setttings.xml file under the .m2 directory in your home directory (~/.m2/settings.xml), instead of editing the global maven settings file. That way you can use those settings with multiple maven installations if you want. If you want to use only the jboss repository (and ignore the maven central repo), I just added some info to the wiki page on how to do this .
