 * <h2>Repository Resolution Process</h2>

 * <p>When resolving dependencies, Maven follows this order:</p><ol>
 * <li>Check Local Repository: Maven first checks if the artifact is available in the local repository.</li>
 * <li>Check Remote Repositories: If the artifact is not found locally, Maven queries the configured remote repositories in the order they are listed.</li>

 The metadata file name is:

 * <<<maven-metadata.xml>>> in a remote repository,

 * <<<maven-metadata-\<repo-id>.xml>>> in a local repository, for metadata from a repository with <<<repo-id>>> identifier.
