Hi Paul, while trying to reproduce https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQ-520 I notice that I cannot run my testsuite because of [INFO] Building JBossOSGi Repository: Integration Tests 1.3.0.Beta5-SNAPSHOT [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/jboss/osgi/jboss-osgi-parent/1.0.18/jbo...

When I define the jboss nexus repositories either in settings.xml or in the project it works fine (also without network connection). Do you know what's going on? I also don't quite understand the reasoning about not defining the repos in the project. How can my project repos leak into other projects if my project's pom is not the parent? cheers -thomas -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thomas Diesler JBoss OSGi Lead JBoss, a division of Red Hat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
