I'm pretty sure that he was refering to the Modello build itself where we
generate source code and use the Plexus compilers to compile the generated
sources and test them[1]. Now I just realized that we're not doing that
anymore, but I think we used to set that property there.
Anyway, the Modello build show how we're using the local repository and
the Maven components to get access to artifacts in the repository.
