I looked through the sources hoping against hope that the dependency
task was a goal too, (then you could do a preGoal on it and viola
problem solved) but it doesn't seem to be.
Here's a possible work around:
Build an ant script to do only the relevant cvs downloads and install
the jars into your WEB-INF/lib directory and then have it launch maven.
Ugly? Yes. Working with 2 build tools: Not ideal, I know, but I would
say that it's better than using Ant for everything that you want to do.
But it'll work.
Then you can ask that the dependency task be a plug-in/goal which could
be preGoaled and maybe would get it in a version or two. Or maybe it is
a goal already and we don't know about it?

Yes, there is an easier way to work with Maven. But I don't have the
luxury (see thread
http://nagoya.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
rg&msgNo=13520). Although some would argue that it's not a luxury, and
I'd have to agree.
So, if I am going to try to build this from the pom, without having all
dependencies available in the repository, I need to get my cvs checkout
of at least the web-inf/lib to run prior to the dependencies goal.
