title: By using alternative repository for Maven I am not able to download some dependencies in java project?
body: <p>I am working behind a proxy and I am facing SSL issues. Therefore, I can't use HTTPS propertly, so in Eclipse in the settings.xml file of maven I set the repository to "<a href="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</a>", i.e. HTTP, as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;settings&gt;
    &lt;activeProfiles&gt;
      &lt;activeProfile&gt;securecentral&lt;/activeProfile&gt;
    &lt;/activeProfiles&gt;
    &lt;profiles&gt;
      &lt;profile&gt;
        &lt;id&gt;securecentral&lt;/id&gt;
        &lt;repositories&gt;
          &lt;repository&gt;
            &lt;id&gt;central&lt;/id&gt;
            &lt;url&gt;http://repo1.maven.org/maven2&lt;/url&gt;
            &lt;releases&gt;
              &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
            &lt;/releases&gt;
          &lt;/repository&gt;
        &lt;/repositories&gt;
        &lt;pluginRepositories&gt;
          &lt;pluginRepository&gt;
            &lt;id&gt;central&lt;/id&gt;
            &lt;url&gt;http://repo1.maven.org/maven2&lt;/url&gt;
            &lt;releases&gt;
              &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
            &lt;/releases&gt;
          &lt;/pluginRepository&gt;
        &lt;/pluginRepositories&gt;
      &lt;/profile&gt;
    &lt;/profiles&gt;
  &lt;/settings&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>It worked for some dependencies but when I added one dependency to the pom.xml specifically this one:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;dependency&gt;
      &lt;groupId&gt;com.twelvemonkeys.imageio&lt;/groupId&gt;
      &lt;artifactId&gt;imageio-tiff&lt;/artifactId&gt;
      &lt;version&gt;3.3.2&lt;/version&gt;
  &lt;/dependency&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Eclipse couldn't download it (I don't know if this issue is from the proxy, from the repository itself, or some other issue)</p>
  
  <p><strong>My question:</strong>
  Does setting the repository to "<a href="http://repo1.maven.org/maven2" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://repo1.maven.org/maven2</a>" limit the number of plugins, libraries, or anything I can download using the normal repository "<a href="https://mvnrepository.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://mvnrepository.com/</a>", or it is exactly the same without any limitation or difference except that the first one is through HTTP not HTTPS ?</p>
