Nexus mirror ?

I’d need to think about it and maybe ask on the Sonatype list, but if we add a ‘mirror’ repository to the parent POM as a default, then we can bounce the authoritative repo without worrying about breaking anyone’s build. We would then disable the ‘mirror’ and the Maven Central repo during our builds. Or we could reverse the default.

Just some thoughts.

If we aren’t going to ever publish to Maven Central, I think we should have some sort of mirror somewhere.
