Answer 1

It depends on which artifacts you want to use.

In addition to the repository you use, we use the following repos at work:

https://repository.apache.org/content/groups/public/

http://repository.apache.org/snapshots/

http://nexus.codehaus.org/snapshots/

http://google-maven-repository.googlecode.com/svn/repository/

http://download.java.net/maven/2/

https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/

(proxied by a local Nexus OSS repository)

Answer 2

<repository>
    <id>java.net</id>
    <url>http://download.java.net/maven/2&lt;/url&gt;
</repository>
<repository>
    <id>jboss</id>
    <url>http://repository.jboss.com/maven2&lt;/url&gt;
</repository>

But I would suggest that you see what dependencies you need, and then add the repository if needed.
