title: Difference between repository and pluginrepository
body: <p>My Android Maven project pom.xml contains the following entries. Now everything works fine. What is the difference between <code>&lt;repositories&gt;</code> entries and the <code>&lt;pluginRepositories&gt;</code> entries. </p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;repositories&gt;
          &lt;repository&gt;
              &lt;id&gt;my-repo&lt;/id&gt;
              &lt;url&gt;http://10.10.10.230:8081/nexus/content/groups/public&lt;/url&gt;
              &lt;releases&gt;
                  &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
              &lt;/releases&gt;
              &lt;snapshots&gt;
                  &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
                  &lt;updatePolicy&gt;always&lt;/updatePolicy&gt;
              &lt;/snapshots&gt;
          &lt;/repository&gt;
      &lt;/repositories&gt;
      &lt;pluginRepositories&gt;
          &lt;pluginRepository&gt;
              &lt;id&gt;my-repo&lt;/id&gt;
              &lt;name&gt;my-repo&lt;/name&gt;
              &lt;url&gt;http://10.10.10.230:8081/nexus/content/groups/public/&lt;/url&gt;
              &lt;releases&gt;
                  &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
              &lt;/releases&gt;
              &lt;snapshots&gt;
                  &lt;enabled&gt;true&lt;/enabled&gt;
              &lt;/snapshots&gt;
          &lt;/pluginRepository&gt;
      &lt;/pluginRepositories&gt;
