When you build a Maven’s project, Maven will check your pom.xml file, to identify which dependency to download. First, Maven will get the dependency from your local repository Maven local repository, if not found, then get it from the defaultMaven central repository – http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/
This is how the Maven central repository website looks like :

The maven center repository website is revamped, directory browsing is no longer available. Instead, you will be redirected to http://search.maven.org/. It’s much better, now you have a search function :)

P.S The directory browsing feature is disabled, But, when you build the Maven project, it will still get the dependency from “http://repo1.maven.org/maven/” , you can verify from the Maven output.
