Yes, indeed. Of course, we could do the same on XWiki platform too.
However, as Thomas explained to me, we would need to configure
repositories directly in the xwiki-commons Parent POM (which I believe
is the one from which platform and extensions depends). But since
everything in Commons is pushed to Maven Central and they do not allow
to add other repositories, this is a blocking point.
Of course, we could also add the repositories in each platform element
but it doesn't seems reasonable.
For people who wants to build XWiki, it's more probable that they will
consult the documentation (and see about the settings.xml).
But for people who want to do simpler stuff like contributing to an
extension, I think (but maybe only me!) that clone and build should work
without any other constraint. The idea behind: a potential contributor
that reach a problem within less than 5 minutes is likely to not
contribute (at least, that's usually how I react unless I really, really
want the stuff).
I hope this helps to understand my point-of-view.

I don't understand the problem. The same Maven
configuration that
works for building the XWiki platform works for building the XWiki
extensions. The configuration is documented here
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building#HInstallingMaven
. Are you suggesting to duplicate the repo configuration on all
extensions poms?
Thanks,
Marius

Hi devs,
I'm kind of annoyed that to build an extension, you need to clone it
(ok, every dev can do it), launch Maven (devs can do it too) and... it
breaks! It breaks because the ~/.m2/settings.xml file has not been
configured.
Of course, ideal would be to push everything to Maven Central but as far
as I know, there is a lot of work to do before being able to that for
XWiki platform.
However, for extensions, it's another story. We could define
repositories directly into the root POM of the extension.
I'm not a Maven expert, but I already tried the following who seems to
work, WDYT?
