Dear Maven Experts,

just did "svn checkout" to get trunk of maven-dependency-plugin, and wanted to 
build it using "mvn clean package". What then happened is really scary:


*         It complained about missing access on that path where my USB stick 
stores the encrypted password for my local Nexus repository.

*         My local Nexus repository is a mirror of "central" with public 
access, only demanding passwords for uploads.

*         I plugged in my stick, did "mvn clean package" again, and it worked 
pretty well.

*         REMOVED my stick, and since then "mvn clean package" works without, 
still!

That looks if packaging "maven-dependency-plugin" would need to WRITE into my 
Nexus (possibly central?) at package phase, if a particular "thing" is not 
found there.

This is scary, as nobody expects UPLOADS are done at packaging.

If somebody has an explanation why that happens, I'd ask him to publish here, 
so everybody will understand the reason for this! :)

Regards
-Markus
