David Jencks commented on GERONIMO-3487:
----------------------------------------

um, ok, but including it in the first place is kind of a hack and a released plugin shouldn't have it but rather the actual expected location.  On the other hand developing a plugin is incredibly painful without this.

Maybe if you are building normally it should put in the local repo location but if you are using a release profile it should put in a configured remote repo?

> The generated geronimo-plugin.xml contains the local repository as: <source-repository>~/.m2/repository/</source-repository>. That assumes that the local repository lives in the user's home directory (the PluginRepositoryDownloader.java replaces ~ with user.home system property). However, this might not be always be true as Maven can be configured to use a different directory.  
> It might be nicer to generate the geronimo-plugin.xml with <source-repository>${local.repo}</source-repository> or similar and then the PluginRepositoryDownloader.java would replace it with an appropriate value. For example. by default it would assume ~/.m2/repository but the user could specify a different directory by setting a system property or changing the configuration.
