Last I checked, p2 doesn't do jar:http: ... it only does these:
http://path/to/dir/
file:/path/to/dir
jar:file:/path/to.zip
So, to work around this, Athena will precache a repositoryURL pointing
at http://path/to.zip in the downloadsDir and internally convert the URL
to a local pointer (jar:file:) instead of an http one. First build it
fetches it, subsequent builds it checks for the zip locally first and if
the timestamps are the same, it won't refetch it.

Re: [dash-dev] P2 ZIP Repos Cached
------------------------------------------------------------------------
What I'm trying to decide is if when using Athena, if I need to do a P2
ZIP download to a cache one time, and then feed those zips to Athena's
repositoryURL property file using jar:file:/// format instead of
jar:http:// format. This way I can avoid possible unnecessary network
overhead in subsequent builds, and then install as I need.
