That's not a fix. We should be downloading everything from our repository.

We need to guarantee that we have control over the bytes we ship.
Which is just healthy paranoia.

Not to mention that in my limited use of Maven so far, I've personally 
had at least three problems with stuff getting upgraded automatically inside
maven that just doesn't work and breaks the build.

This includes artifacts disappearing so it is impossible to even reproduce
an earlier build.

I'd prefer it if the maven repository (or any other) wasn't even checked when
we download stuff for JBoss projects.

We should be using a version of Maven from the jboss repository
that we know works and more importantly in two years time, we can download the
same version of Maven again to reproduce an old jboss project down to the exact byte.
