IMetadataRepositoryManager#createRepository javadoc says: "If a repository already exists at that location <code>null</code> is returned."  However, the implementation doesn't do this - it returns the existing repository. If it was fixed to match the spec, there would be no way to distinguish between that case and the failure case (for example the http connection failed). 

I think we need to add a "throws CoreException" to this API to be able to communicate the cause of the failure back to the caller.

The same problem exists for IArtifactRepositoryManager.
