[jbossdeveloper] <repository /> on quickstarts pom.xml

[Rafael Benevides]

Hi all,

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.

As a roadmap for it:
- We need to document that at the 
https://github.com/jboss-developer/jboss-developer-shared-resources
- We need to update the contributing guides
- We need to update QSTools to do this update on all quickstarts for us.

Max, Is there any restrictions on JBDS side ?

Anyone else have any objections/comments on this $subject ?

Thanks
