This is part of Merlin's internals (I think), but even if it wasn't, Merlin
will download it on-demand from a central repository.
So, for your own components, you can either define your Jars directly (not
strongly recommended) or use a central repository, where things are picked up
on demand. Also, while developing and using Maven, if you call the
jar:install goal, the JAR will be copied to the local repository on your
computer, and be used between projects.

Translation happens so that the above becomes;
avalon-framework/jars/avalon-framework-impl-4.1.5.jar
And is looked up, first in the local repository, and then in each central
repository that has been defined, for instance
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/avalon-framework/jars/avalon-framework-impl-4.1.5.jar
You can even bootstrap Merlin itself from the command-line over the net, by
the same underlying mechanism... (I explain that elsewhere).
Anything else that is unclear?
