How about a target that brings them down if the user wishes? Somehow
utilize the local repository to promote reuse. I suppose some might want
full containment for the distros, but if we could manage to somehow
provide instructions in the dist that could pull down the resources
without having maven installed than I would prefer that. Maybe something
like the generated Ant build.

I would like a target to get the JARs. Not sure how usable this would
be. I just don't want to produce 100 distros nightly with tons of JARs.
I would like to force the issue of reuse.
