Description

See http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/03/why-external-repos-are-being-phased-out-of-central/ to learn why there shouldn't be dependencies to third party repos.

Ideally we convince the upstream developers to push their artifacts to maven central. Alternatively we can follow https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Uploading+3rd-party+Artifacts+to+The+Central+Repository.

If both fails I think we can have the dependencies in SVN as this is done for reasoners/hermit. When choosing this approach the maven bundle plugin should be configured to include the dependencies in the bundle as it is otherwise required at runtime or when building the launcher as well.
