Description

I have attached a small multi-module project to demonstrate the behaviour.
I have a test-parent project with a child module, test-child.

I have defined a repositories section in test-parent:

<repositories>
	<repository>
		<id>jboss-public-repository-group</id>
		<name>JBoss Public Maven Repository Group</name>
		<url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public-jboss/</url>
		<layout>default</layout>
		<releases>
			<enabled>true</enabled>
			<updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
		</releases>
		<snapshots>
			<enabled>true</enabled>
			<updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
		</snapshots>
	</repository>
</repositories>

I have defined the executing of maven-assembly-plugin in test-child/pom.xml:

<plugin>
	<artifactId>maven-assembly-plugin</artifactId>
	<version>3.0.0</version>
	<configuration>
		<descriptors>
			<descriptor>src/assembly/repository.xml</descriptor>
		</descriptors>
	</configuration>
	<executions>
		<execution>
			<id>create-repository</id>
			<phase>package</phase>
			<goals>
				<goal>single</goal>
			</goals>
		</execution>
	</executions>
</plugin>

When I run mvn clean package from test-child, I can see that it is using repository.jboss.org to resolve dependencies:

[test-parent/test-child] $ mvn clean package
[INFO] Scanning for projects...
[INFO]

However, if I run mvn clean package from the parent project test-parent, it will only try to resolve dependencies from maven central, ignoring all repository settings:

[test-parent] $ mvn clean package

This causes issues for us when we reference dependencies that don't exist in maven central.

Note

I am using maven version 3.3.3
