localRepository - local repository

remoteRepositories - remote repositories, List $lt; ArtifactRepository >

Returns:

List $lt; ArtifactVersion >

Throws:

ArtifactMetadataRetrievalException - in case of error while retrieving repository metadata from the repository.

localRepository - local repository

remoteRepository - remote repository

Returns:

List $lt; ArtifactVersion >

Throws:

ArtifactMetadataRetrievalException - in case of error while retrieving repository metadata from the repository.
