Description

The combination of a system of transitive dependencies and the ability of pom files to inject (broken) repository information into the lookup process sometimes result in a situation where maven attempts to download artefacts from the wrong server. This typically happens over and over again and slows down maven runs significantly.

This is even more annoying when the artefacts downloaded most certainly isn't used.

patch at https://reviews.apache.org/r/8809/ fixes this issue.
