which tells Maven to look there for snapshots.
Dan, is there any reason for this? This should be used only for
modules that depend on Isis and might want to run/build a snapshot
version without building all the dependent code first.
We get this by way of inheriting from org.apache:apache-parent:7, which
was Mark's recommendation. Doing so will fit in with other projects
that Mark is involved with, so there's good precedent here, and there's
a good write-up on the release process that this parent defines for us,
which I've referenced from our wiki [1].
But I'm not sure why there's a problem with having this defined. We
need a snapshot repo, don't we? And this is the official one to use.
