missing artifacts maven2 repository

[GoogleCodeExporter]

For building and testing of our libraries, we have dependencies on a number of 
external libaries, 
some of which are not in the global maven repositories, for different reasons 
(mainly license 
issues).
For inhouse projects, we normally set up a "missing artifacts" repository, so 
that we only need to 
find and install those libs once for the entire team.

We cannot do this for these public projects. Such a setup requires a settings 
in the maven pom, 
and obviously we cannot make the missing artifacts repo publicly available (for 
license reasons). 
Once the reference to a missing artifacts repo is in the pom however, things 
will stop working of 
that repo is not public.

Users need to do an mvn install of the lib in question in their local repo 
cache by hand. This 
obviously is an escape for our developers too, but to sad.

Is there any solution for our team?
