I don't know what is actually the prefered way of accessing the path to the
local repository (but I'm quite sure I saw discussions about it on this
list before). However, running your example pom.xml works as soon as I
changed ${maven.local.repo} to ${settings.localRepository}. This is working
with maven 2.2.1 and maven 3.0-beta-3.
