I have a project POM which specifies a repositories tag which points to a sandbox location.
<repositories>
<repository>
<id>mysandbox</id>
<name>Sandbox</name>
<url>http://myTestingSite.com/repositories/sandbox/</url>
</repository>
</repositories>
This works fine in Eclipse and resolves all dependencies however when i attempt to deploy i get the following exception.
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-deploy-plugin:2.5:deploy (default-depl
oy) on project myweb-web: Deployment failed: repository element was not specified in the POM insid
e distributionManagement element or in -DaltDeploymentRepository=id::layout::url parameter -> [Help
1]

ntRepository=id::layout::url parameter
Wrapping this in a Distributionmanagement element doesn't make any sense because I'm using the repository for dependency resolution and not deployment.
