A directory of packaged JAR file which also consists of pom.xml file is called a Maven repository. Dependencies are being searched in the Maven repositories. There are basically three types of repositories. They are –
  1. Local repository: the local repository of Maven is located in the local system. It is created in the system when any Maven command is run.
  2. Central repository: the central repository is located on the web. The apache Maven community creates this repository by itself.
  3. Remote repository: the remote repository is also located on the web. It consists of such libraries which are missing from the central repository.

Maven first searches for the local repository, then the central and then the remote repository. If dependencies are not found, then Maven stops the execution and throws an error.
