[jbossdeveloper] <repository /> on quickstarts pom.xml

[Karel Piwko]

I recall this issue Fred reported in the past:

https://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-5663

It was fixed in Maven 3.2.3 and not present in 3.1.x. If we add 
<repository> element we need to make sure people are using right Maven 
version.
