Since we use the bnd repositories to resolve against, it is impossible to resolve against the world.

The index file falls under source control, it is stored in the source control management system.

In general, the plugin will first are released to that URL. See the -connection-settings instruction for how to set the proxy and authentication information.

The following diagram shows the different steps in the build pipeline (Commit Stage, Acceptance Test Stage, Performance Test Stage).

This guarantees that at any time the project is checked out it has the same views on its repository.

This is paramount to prevent build breackages due to changes in repositories. In that case only access to the local repository is provided.

Trying to release remotely will be an error for such a repository.

The -buildrepo instruction can be pointed to such a local repository; it will then store a JAR in the local repository after every build.
