I'm a bit lost:
Do you want us to move only the snapshot repo into settings.xml OR both repo to
settings,xml ?
For JBoss Tools it is "fine" for now since the pom is not exposed to users of
jboss tools unless you are actually a subbuild of jboss tools. But optimally neither of
these should be in the parent pom. These settings should be received from settings.xml.
For SwitchYard core its a challenge because of how it is actually used as a dependency
from "external/normal users".
