Repository operational?

Question

Is this maven repository operational from eclipse?

<repository>
  <id>tapx</id>
  <name>howard lewisship snapshot repository</name>
  <url>http://howardlewisship.com/snapshot-repository/</url>
  <snapshots>
    <enabled>true</enabled>
    <updatePolicy>never</updatePolicy>
    <checksumPolicy>fail</checksumPolicy>
  </snapshots>
</repository>

This question doesn't specifically have anything to do with Eclipse, but Maven.

Assuming you're using m2eclipse, you can use the repository browser as detailed in the Browsing and Manipulating Maven Repositories docs. Since I'm not an Eclipse user, I prefer to use the command line.

To answer your (non-programming) question, AFAICT, yes, the repository works fine.

pom snippet ^{— Also works with the snapshots setting, but isn't required.}

  <repositories>
    <repository>
      <id>tapx</id>
      <name>howard lewisship snapshot repository</name>
      <url>http://howardlewisship.com/snapshot-repository/</url>
    </repository>
  </repositories>

  <dependencies>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>com.howardlewisship</groupId>
      <artifactId>tapx-core</artifactId>
      <version>1.2-SNAPSHOT</version>
    </dependency>
  </dependencies>

You can also browse the repo from the web.
