maven using repo.maven.apache.org ... even though central it is overridden in ~/.m2/settings.xml file

I have overridden the <central> repo in my ~/.m2/settings.xml file.  For artifacts and plugins.

Yet I get this failure message:

Downloading from central: https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/xxx/version.RELEASE.pom

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project artifact-metadata-aggregator: Could not resolve dependencies for project :jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Failed to collect dependencies at Failed to find ... in https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2 was cached in the local repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of central has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]

Failed to read artifact descriptor fo Could not find artifact xx in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) -> [Help 1]

fix: use maven 4.0 instead of 3.6

or add <mirrorOf>* instead of overriding central repo, apparently...

mac os x enumerate windows like windows' EnumDesktopWindows

looks like in order to do it you need to either turn on "universal access" then use either applescript or the access API's in C to do it, or use some internal coregraphics private api's (in C). So for java users, its either ffi or JNA or the like, or call out to an applescript script.

But didn't it also add background apps? That's what will really give the speedup, I think.
