Currently when a repository index is being downloaded it does not show what URL it is trying to download it from, not does it show any progress. It would be nice to see that information in an Output window.

It should, at least for the download part. Need to investigate what kind of progress reports Wagon is firing and whether they can be made more reliable. Once the index has been downloaded, it also has to be unpacked. The Maven Indexer library currently offers no way of estimating progress for this. > It would be nice to see that information in an Output window. No, the progress bar is the conventional place for this.
(In reply to comment #1) > the full URL could be displayed. This I will fix. The progress bar's detail label will now be the full URL, taking into account any configured mirrors. >> [nor] does it show any progress. > > It should, at least for the download part. Checked in a NB 7.2 dev build (Wagon 2.2) on Ubuntu 11.10 and JDK 7u2 downloading the Central index with no configured mirror over an open internet connection. It is slow, of course, but definitely shows a progress bar that creeps forward as data is transferred. I will improve the logging (including per-block messages at FINER).
