title: netbeans Maven PlugIn does not update remote repo index
body: <p>I am starting with a project where I want to use latest versions of hibernate and the hibernate spatial extension. Therefore I decided to start with a maven project to manage all the dependencies. I have to say, that I am pretty unexperienced both in using maven an the maven netbeans plugin, but I think it is the best option for my requirements. I am using Netbeans 7.2.1.</p>
  
  <p>There is a short and simple description how to add the remote repos for hibernate spatial to maven (<a href="http://www.hibernatespatial.org/mavenquick.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.hibernatespatial.org/mavenquick.html</a>).</p>
  
  <p>I added these repo's in netbeans - services - maven repositories. Then I clicked on "Update Index" but nothing happens.</p>
  
  <p>I also tried to open the repo Url in my Browser and I got all the files that it should deliver. </p>
  
  <p>Why is Netbeans not updating the index? Is there a possibility to index the remote repo on maven commandline so that I am able to bypass netbeans and possibly get more info about what is happening? </p>
