Description
It is possible to declare remote repositories in settings.xml and pom.xml. While for the settings.xml it has to be given in a profile, for pom.xml it can be given in the top-level repositories element as well as in profiles. The order in which an artifact is tried to be resolved from the different remote repo is sometimes crucial to know (e.g. to speed up build times by first checking against remote repos having most of the artifacts like Maven Central)
It would be nice to document this in https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-repositories.html
