Remote repository URLs are queried in the following order for artifacts until one returns a valid result: Local pom.xml
How are remote repository URLs queried for artifacts?
Remote repository URLs are queried in the following order for artifacts until one returns a valid result: Local pom.xml effective POMs from dependency path to the artifact. For each of these locations, the repositories within the profiles are queried first in the order outlined at Introduction to build profiles.
How can I see the Order of repositories in effective?
Effective settings and local build POM, with profile taken into account, can easily be reviewed to see their repositories order with mvn help:effective-settings and mvn help:effective-pom -Dverbose.
Why am I getting a Maven repository error when indexing?
The indexes are fetched remotely from remote repositories. Some repositories do not provide indexes, or do not keep an updated index, for example, repositories from Bintray, in this case you can ignore the error.

How do I check the latest version of a Maven dependency?
You can check the effective POM to determine which Maven repository was used as an origin of the dependency. You can select the Always update snapshots option in Maven settings. In this case, IntelliJ IDEA checks the latest version of the downloaded dependency and updates it accordingly.
