In theory...

In practice, many Maven dependencies are available from Maven Central,
which is more reliable than depending on various p2 repositories with
different policies.

Also, maintaining a local Maven repository for 3rd party artifacts
isn't a big deal, but I have yet to figure out how to maintain a p2
repository for the same purpose (Nexus Pro, for instance, doesn't
appear to support this).
