I got a pull request on github for a change that does this. I'm looking through it now.
The problem I'm having is that Maven goals fail with the following error: Downloading: http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/codehaus/mojo/exec-maven-plugin/1.1/exec-maven-plugin-1.1.pom [WARNING] Failed to create parent directories for resolution tracking file /Users/williammcneill/.m2/repository/org/codehaus/mojo/exec-maven-plugin/1.1/exec-maven-plugin-1.1.pom.lastUpdated Does this mean I have to add extra repositories to my settings.xml, or should those be picked up via the avro poms?
