Cave 4.2.1 - "Error downloading mvn:org.apache.cxf.karaf/cxf-karaf-commands/3.3.4" when install from custom distro on a disconnected server.

Karaf 4.2.9
Cave 4.2.1

I have created a custom distribution including Cave 4.2.1 that will be 
installed on a disconnected server.  Installing the feature cave-repository 
fails with the following error:

   karaf@root()> feature:install cave-repository
   Error executing command: Error:
        Error downloading mvn:org.apache.cxf.karaf/cxf-karaf-commands/3.3.4

Adding the feature cxf-commands to the installedFeatures within the 
karaf-maven-plugin resolved the issue.

Is this bug in the Cave feature definition?
  If not, where is the bug?
