Description
In our Maven 1.0.2 build environment, we went to the trouble of building a replica of the ibiblio repository on a local machine because we would have builds hang for minutes if ibiblio decided to hiccup while the build was trying to update the snapshots of our current projects.
It would be nice if Maven 2 would look for dependencies in the local repositories (those defined in the project and parent POMs) before looking in the central repository. This would allow locally-produced artifacts to be found faster (especially if the internet connection is dial-up) and would probably also reduce the load on the ibiblio servers.
