Ok, agreed and thanks for the clarification!

So maybe we need a page explaining this, recommending that people use
mvn help:effective-settings to check that they have no local
settings.

Note that, on unixish systems, mvn -s /dev/null disables any local
settings - dunno if there's a Windows equivalent that works in all
cases?

 Yesterday a friend reported being unable to build Sling as the 1.2.0

The Maven mirror guide [1] says:

Note : The official Maven 2 repository is at http://repo1.maven.org/maven2,
the following mirrors may not have the same contents and we don't support
them in any way, although we try to keep info in this page accurate.

 Seems like the mirroring of Maven repositories is not working as it
 should, so maybe we should have a website page about recommended
 Maven settings to build Sling?

I think it's enough to just make sure that the build works with a
