I'm having problems getting plugins working. I was able to use it previously, but I can no longer even run `forrest init-plugins`.

Q: If it was working before, what have you done to make it stop working?
A: I started making modifications to the ODT plugin's stylesheets. While testing I noticed it wasn't working. After searching the archives, I decided to try checking out a fresh copy from svn. Unfortunately (after changing $FORREST_HOME to point to the fresh svn checkout) I receive the same error.

Without further ado, here's the error (along w some extra fluff...)

ERROR
=====

Unable to retrieve the org.apache.forrest.plugin.input.odt plugin.
There may be more information about the reason for this in output
above. The usual cause is that Forrest has been unable to download
the plugin descriptor file that indicates where this plugin is to be
downloaded from. If you are behind a firewall then set the proxy.host
and proxy.port values in the forrest.properties file.

You may also like to check the value of the
forrest.plugins.descriptors property in the forrest.properties file
and ensure that the locations indicated by that value are accessible
(note there should be no spaces in this property).

If all else fails you can can manually install the plugins you need
by downloading the install bundles (see
http://forrest.apache.org/pluginDocs/plugins_0_70/index.html) and unpacking
them into FORREST_HOME/build/plugins.

Note that once the plugins have been installed, they will not need
to be installed again unless you delete them or wish to upgrade them.
