[M1.0.2] Can a CD be a remote repository

[Ha...@AFSCN.com]

I am trying to use Maven to install an application on a secure system.  The
system can not have access to the WEB.  I have put all required libraries in
a repository on the CD, but it appears Maven can not access them as part of
the download (from the plugin jelly code it appears it has to be a http
site).  The following does not work even though Maven sets up the right URL.
The getFile method in plugin-plugin is using class
org.apache.maven.util.HttpUtils regardless of the URL type.

    maven.repo.remote = file://d:\\CustomLib\\repository

I can fake the system by creating an equivalent local repository on the CD
and then copying it onto the %HOME%/.maven/repository folder as part of the
post install steps.  Is that the only (best) way to accomplish moving the
libraries from the CD to to repository?
