Re: [dash-dev] Maven wiki page and suggested repository layout

[Alex Blewitt <alex.blewitt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rather than having a general "snapshots" bucket, can't we have a better name that is more appropriate to the Eclipse workflow?

We should hide all the other repositories behind a virtual repository though so we can amend the list without leaking the set. 

Not convinced we should depend on external snapshots though - if there's a findbugs/tycho incompatibility it would be better to wait for a released version than risk having the snapshots get away from us. It's all to easy for people to start depending on more and more once you add a repository in.

So those eclipse projects that need to deploy items to be used by other eclipse projects, can do so with snapshots.   This is important for projects like jgit and egit that might depend on snapshots.
