Of course you are right. [The test information needs to be put onto a  
wiki and maintained. This was an oversight on my part.]

This is mysterious. I get similar results:

Attempting to download jdo2-api-2.0-beta.jar.
Error retrieving artifact from [ http://www.jpox.org/downloads/maven  
http://www.apache.org/~clr/downloads/maven/javax.jdo/jars/jdo2- 
api-2.0-beta.jar]: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Invalid uri '/ 
downloads/maven http://www.apache.org/~clr/downloads/maven/javax.jdo/ 
jars/jdo2-api-2.0-beta.jar': escaped absolute path not valid
WARNING: Failed to download jdo2-api-2.0-beta.jar.
The build cannot continue because of the following unsatisfied  
dependency:

jdo2-api-2.0-beta.jar

Anyone around here know what the issue is?

Yes. Good catch.

Yes, good idea. Your patch copied everything though. I guess it  
should be empty.

Your patch looks good.

I'll update the RunRules. At least it isn't there twice.

Thanks for the usual thorough review.
