42 * Returns the list of repositories. The order of the elements represents
43 * the order of getting artifacts (first one wins).
48 List<ManagedRepository> getRepositories();
51 * Returns true, if the given repository is part of this group.
53 * @param repository The repository to check.
54 * @return True, if it is part, otherwise false.
56 boolean contains(ManagedRepository repository);
59 * Returns true, if the repository with the given id is part of this group.
61 * @param id The repository id to check
62 * @return True, if it is part, otherwise false
64 boolean contains(String id);
