We have danced around the problem of not being able to build
Samples, Plugins or GEP from a clean m2 repo without building the

create the following location in SVN -
geronimo/repo
Which would hold our private patched artifacts of other projects
(like Tomcat, Pluto, ...), just like the OpenEJB team has done for
some of their private depends.
I don't see this as a major hit to the svn infrastructure, given the
jars (10 for 2.2.) will only be downloaded when starting with a
clean m2 repo or when we publish any updated depends.
Unless someone comes up with a better solution by Friday morning,
I'll create the new repo branch and populate it with the latest
2.1.2 and 2.2 patched artifacts tomorrow.
Agree that this is a problem we need to fix...
There's another option -- actually release the repository artifacts so
that they'll be in normal maven repos. They could be under a geronimo
groupid (e.g. org/apache/geronimo/patches or some meaningful name).
This might be a cleaner solution...
