AIUI one of the goals of the distro was that is was a complete
standalone distribution (what Ant described as the "try it out on the
train" scenario). However, the build for the samples included in it
assumes it can download artifacts from the main maven repositories which
requires the user to be online.
The pom also has a reference to:
<repository>
<id>incubating-M1</id>
<name>incubating-M1</name>
<url>http://people.apache.org/~jsdelfino/maven2</url>
</repository>
I don't think that it is appropriate for a distribution to have
references to a repository in someone's home directory as that is not
really a suitable long term location.
