We have had problems with using Maven central with CI, as it appears the Azure IP's can get blacklisted at times, so we need to make sure we can still use JBoss Nexus for CI.

Good point, we need to keep that in mind. Still, that implies we won't be failing tests whenever we mistakenly introduce a dependency which users won't be able to find on Maven Central.

We can totally think of that later but let's not forget; I'll open an issue.

Ideally we just find a way to have our CI not blacklisted, it would also speed up the builds.
