[weld-dev] Pom's in maven central referring to jboss org nexus :(

And here I thought it was an excellent rule since it forces cleaner artifacts instead of this situation ;(

Well, reproducible builds are to me more important than lazy pom's ;)

Much better to have a settings.xml committed if its ease of use you want for those building.

> Max, could you make a WELD issue for this?

I've created https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WELD-948

Just to check I searched for other references and found the additional problems:

CDI API: javax/enterprise/cdi-api/1.0-SP4/cdi-api-1.0-SP4.pom
JBoss EE 6: org/jboss/spec/jboss-javaee-6.0/1.0.0.Final/jboss-javaee-6.0-1.0.0.Final.pom
RestEasy: org/jboss/resteasy/resteasy-jaxrs-all/2.1.0.GA/resteasy-jaxrs-all-2.1.0.GA.pom (actually have about multiple external repos declared)

Paul - is this really what we want for our mirroring to maven central ? I thought these things had to be cleaned up?

We should get documented how users need to be careful about these - especially if this also leaks into AS7/EAP6 and dependent builds...
