First off, you should watch closely the messages that show up during the
bootstrap. The last phase is "Building Maven with itself". You obviously
need plugins for that. And IMO you should not download the plugins in
binary form for that, because it would not be a bootstrap at all!
The current bootstrap process builds the plugins locally, installs
them into the local repository and uses them for the final phase of
bootstraping.

You should bite into Maven's maven.xml and build-bootstrap.xml to get
the details of the proces. I never had a nerve to do it myslef :-)
