The main reason is to test the kits during the "pre-release voting" phase.
During that time, the poms would be looking for
version "2.0-incubating-RC", but we aren't allowed to put them into the
release repository yet as they haven't passed the votes. There are two
options:
1) Configure the samples poms to ALSO look in the place where we plan to
stage them (ex:
http://people.apache.org/~dkulp/staging_cxf_2.0-incubating-RC) in addition
to the release area.
2) Provide our own "local" repository (what I suggested above)
3) Parameterize/profile the stuff in (1). (when in the voting period, you
have to build with -Pstaged)
4) Require the testers of the kits to have built the source version first
so it doesn't need to go find it.
etc...

To work offline, they can run "mvn dependency:go-offline" while they are
online. I'm not too concerned about that one.
