Absolutely agree that there needs to be a way to point at local copies instead. The challenge for Mavenized projects that want to also be Ant-friendly is the way that the Ant plugin generates its build.xml files -- it does generate "get" tasks for pulling the dependencies, but uses hard coded paths from the project.xml file. It would be much better if the generated tasks used an Ant property for the "src" attribute, so that one could override and point at your local copy. I would like to see us do that in our Struts build.xml files (that are manually maintained) if we start using get tasks ourselves.
