Description

Most open source developers utilize the standard sonatype snapshot repository for deploying snapshot(s). It's fast, east, and it linked to maven central. Description:
https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Sonatype+OSS+Maven+Repository+Usage+Guide#SonatypeOSSMavenRepositoryUsageGuide-4.MavenRepositories
It would make sense to add it to the default karaf repository list, so snapshots can be retrieved with the mvn protocol:
install mvn:org.mygroup/org.mygroup.myartifact/1.2.3-SNAPSHOT
The repo is located at:
https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/
Here's the patch (I'll attach it too):
