What are Maven repositories and how do they work?

Maven repositories are storage locations for project artifacts, like libraries and dependencies, used in Java projects.

Can you explain the difference between local, central, and remote repositories?

Sure! Local repositories are on your machine, central repositories are hosted by Maven, and remote repositories are external sources.

How do I add a dependency from a Maven repository to my project?

You can add a dependency by including it in your project's pom.xml file under the <dependencies> section.

What happens if a dependency is not found in the specified repositories?

If a dependency isn't found, Maven will throw an error, and you'll need to check your repository settings or add the correct repository.
