I believe that the maven central part was supposed to be only for the benefit of the local hudson slaves at Eclipse, rather than something which the server was ever really designed to cope with. Unfortunately the 'build' URL included it and I don't know if there is a way to update the settings that the MAven jobs run on Hudson to point elsewhere. If we can get rid of it for something else, so much the better.
Ultimately the http://maven.eclipse.org site should just make the Eclipse hosted maven content available, and not include any other downstream repositories. Or even better, hand it off to the CBI guys to maintain and look after - it's not like the Maven server is used for anything other than the maven-signing-plugin that was put together …
With the platform moving to CBI I suggest we let those POMs be part of the published metadata and they can manage this instance.
