[gatein-dev] Compilation hell on Windows

[Dimitri BAELI]

Note:
   +1 to not use any SNAPSHOT in dependencies because it can block to
reproduce the build of past revisions.
   Trying to build a previous revision can fail because the last version of
dependencies snapshots will be used, not the one this revision was using.
   Instead of using snapshots, we can simply deploy versions of those
dependencies with revision number instead of the SNAPSHOT name (like
2.1.0-r326).
