Local repository created by PAX Runner

Hi!
Is there any way I can make Pax Runner to store the bundles it downloads in
a local repository?
Imagine you do not have Maven installed in your machine (otherwise you do
not need pax-runner and can just run "mvn pax:provision"), and thus do not
have a local repository. You use pax to run an application that uses bundles
X, Y, Z. The first time you run that application, all those bundles are
downloaded, together with the osgi-framework bundles. Now, imagine that you
want to run another application that uses the same bundles as the
formerapplication. When you run this new application, pax downloads again
bundles X,Y,Z, plus the osgi-framework bundles. And everytime a new
application is run, the bundles are yet again downloaded. This is
unfortunate, specially if the internet connection is bad and there are many
bundles that have to be downloaded. So it would be great if Pax could store
the bundles it downloads in a local repository, as maven does.
Cheers,
Humberto
