Body:
I thought about plugging it in to Maven's Java startup, but it would require reading
some XML file like you say to find the files. For a once only task, it seemed like
overkill. Not that you don't have to use this script on startup - it can be run
independantly to create a working repo.
This isn't a separately maintained list: it is generated in the bootstrap using the
dependencies in project.xml, the same way the libs are copied into /lib and
/lib/endorsed in the first place.
Probably the only "duplicated" names are the need to check explicitly for "xerces" and
"xml-apis" and copy from lib/endorsed instead of lib.
I think a better solution is to have multiple local repos, starting with
${maven.home}/repository. We can distribute without lib and lib/endorsed, but with the
jars in the repo and forehead can set up from there.

Summary: The Maven download is a lot heavier than it needs to be

Description:
At present (or when I checked all this out for b9), the Maven download included
* Duplicate jars in the lib and lib/endorsed - The maven batch / sh scripts should
copy these from the lib directory as required.
* Doesn't prepopulate the repository - The jars in lib can be precopied to the repo if
they don't exist in there already. This will save a couple of meg of download as those
jars are frequently used.
