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.

I agree. Good point, we should be able to build the samples offline.
This triggers a number of questions for the group:
- Do we want to ship with the distribution a local maven repos with the
dependencies? or just Ant scripts to build the samples from the JARs in
the distribution?
- If we provide Ant scripts, do we want to keep both Ant and Maven build
options? is there any value in showing people how to build Tuscany
applications with Maven?
- If we only provide Ant scripts, does it still make sense at all to
have the Maven usual src/main/java src/mainresources etc. folder
structure in the samples?
- What should we do with BigBank, which currently requires Maven
wsdljava and sdo plugins to build? don't we need Ant equivalents for
these plugins?
Thoughts?
