Add JBoss public repository to list of default repositories in Eclipse
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-9688
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9688
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Enhancement
          Components: maven
            Reporter: Rob Cernich
            Assignee: Fred Bricon
            Priority: Minor


M2e exposes an extension point, which allows plugins to contribute repositories to be indexed.  Automatically registering the JBoss repository seems like a sensible thing for JBoss Tools.  This would allow the user to access the JBoss public repository from the tooling (e.g. add dependency) without requiring them to add the JBoss public repository to their settings.xml file.  Of course, the user would still need to ensure that the repository was correctly configured within their pom so the project will build correctly.

The following is all that is required (in plugin.xml):
   <extension
         point="org.eclipse.m2e.core.indexes">
      <index
            indexId="JBOSS_NEXUS"
            isShort="true"
            repositoryUrl="http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public">
      </index>
   </extension>
