Hi Jason,
I have done some more testing. FYI, my environment is Win2000, Ant 1.5.2,
and jUnit 3.8.1.

Yes, I confirm. I am able to point maven.repo.local to an initially empty
directory and the bootstrap builds okay. However, if maven.repo.local points
to the local repo I was using with beta8, then I get the following failure
building the plugins:

The bootstrap build ignores this initial error and continues until it later
trips over its own feet trying to build itself:

The only thing I can guess is that some dependency cached by beta8 in my
local repo is somehow satisfying a beta9 dependency, but is incompatible
with it. Note, that when I do a bootstrap build against my beta8 local repo,
I do not see any new downloads from ibiblio. I hope this helps pinpoint the
issue for you. Regards,
