[jboss-dev] Mavenizing Thirdparty

[Paul Gier]

I just wanted to follow up on this issue of including the source jars.
Yesterday I added a profile to the maven thirdparty build that will download 
source jars (using the maven dependency plugin) to the local maven repo.  The 
maven plugin will then look for the source jars in the local maven repository 
and copy them to the correct location in the thirdparty folder.

Currently this is off by default because checking for the sources can be time 
consuming, and they only need to be downloaded on the first build.

I also added the ability to pass maven options to the thirdparty build through 
build.sh or build.xml.  So for example to call the profile for downloading 
sources, the command looks like this:

./build.sh -Dthirdparty.maven.opts="-Pdownload-sources"

This causes the following command to be run against the thirdparty/pom.xml

mvn -Pdownload-sources package

So any maven options that you want to pass to the mavenized thirdparty can be 
passed through that property.
