Early on in the quickstart development we set a requirement that all quickstarts must be able to build and run using only the Maven central repository. We need a Jenkins job which runs regularly to verify that this works.

This can be tested using a special Maven settings.xml which mirrors all repository requests to Maven central.

    <mirror>
      <id>maven-central</id>
      <name>Maven Central Repository</name>
      <url>http://central.maven.org/maven2/</url>
      <mirrorOf>*</mirrorOf>
    </mirror>

See: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-mirror-settings.html

For any quickstart that does not succeed using these settings, a separate issue should be filed to handle that quickstart.
