I am new to both Magnolia and Maven, so maybe I am just confused,
but I had serious problems compiling Magnolia from source (trunk).

First I checked out the "build" and "community" roots in subversion,
then I ran checkout.sh, and then I installed Maven and tried to
build everything and anything, but it didn't work due to missing
files at "repo1.maven.org" so I managed to figure out that I needed
a ~/.m2/settings.xml to override the default settings by defining a
maven mirror pointing at "repo.magnolia.info".

Sadly, both the maven documentation and the error messages are
abysmally inadequate, so it wasn't at all clear what to write in
that settings file. I finally did manage, by trial-and-horror,
to compile and run the module I was interested in, but I am not
at all happy with the process that got me there since it didn't
produce a deterministic recipe.

My questions are: Am I the only one who has Maven problems?
How do all of you experienced people handle Maven repos when
compiling Magnolia? Do you use a custom ~/.m2/settings.xml?
If so, exactly what does it contain that remediates the problem?
