Purpose of the `local` repository

[yeroc]

Thanks so much for sharing this. Can you explain the purpose of the local repository defined in the parent pom file? Is this a required piece of the solution? I removed it for our testing but am having some issues with dependencies not being resolved when running parallelized builds to boost performance (mvn -T 1C ...)

Sorry for this late late late response.

The local repository is only a placeholder and not part of the solution. Add the repository to where you will publish releases.
