On a look for a continuous improvement on developer user experience
and also because we have been constantly asked to support issues
related to the setup of https://access.redhat.com/maven-repository
to make the quickstarts work, we want to include the <repository
/> definition on quickstarts pom.xml
Actually the Archetypes already have the <repository /> on the
pom.xml file of the generated project.
The idea here is to have the <repository /> with the
https://maven.repository.redhat.com/techpreview/all/ defined on
every quickstarts's pom.xml file with a comment on top of it saying
that this approach is not recommended but we included it so users
can test the quickstarts without further setup and that it's
recommended to use settings.xml.
It will bring the following advantages:
- It will make ease to contributors and users
- Simplify the build.
- Simplify the Archetype synch process / No need to inject the repo
since it will come from the Quickstarts
- We can add a pre-defined comment above the pom.xml repository
definition to explain that we don't recommend that.
- We can also add this "comment" to QSTools to check/fix it.
