David Crossley commented on FOR-1068:
-------------------------------------

I have made some local progress on this issue. I have a demonstration Ant build 
that finds the nearest mirror (list of preferred mirrors) try each until it 
gets the artefact, then get its signature and checksum from the main dist area.

> plugins need to be managed via the ASF mirror system

> Forrest Plugins need to be deployed and downloaded via the ASF mirror system. 
> See http://www.apache.org/dev/mirrors.html
> There are a number of reasons for this, e.g. being kind to the 
> infrastructure; faster local access. However, the main reason is that this is 
> where official PMC releases are required to be.
