How can I ask Maven for a list of the default repositories?

build-process, java, maven-2

Solution

on the command line, execute

mvn help:evaluate

then, when prompted, enter

${project.repositories}

see http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-help-plugin/evaluate-mojo.html

Problem

What command can I use to ask Maven for a list of the default repositories that it searches for its dependencies? If no such command exists, where else may I look to find this default list?
