title: How to disable maven blocking external HTTP repositories?
body: <p>Maven blocks external HTTP repositories by default since version 3.8.1 (see <a href="https://maven.apache.org/docs/3.8.1/release-notes.html" rel="noreferrer">https://maven.apache.org/docs/3.8.1/release-notes.html</a>)</p>
  <p>Is there a way to disable that or to exempt a repository from this rule?</p>
