Hi Brian !
I understand your position, furthermore since in Windows 7, problem is no
more there (it looks like it is really related to Windows XP and its manner
to manage mounted network drives :()
One workaround for my case is to launch maven CLI in my host environnement
(ie ubuntu) => it will download artefacts in the local repository and these
artefacts will be available in my guest environnment (and then, no problem).
