<profiles>
    <profile>
        <repositories>
            <repository>
                <snapshots>
                    <enabled>false</enabled>
                </snapshots>
                <id>archetype</id>
                <name>squashTA</name>
                <url>http://repo.squashtest.org/maven2/releases/</url>
            </repository>
        </repositories>
