MavenLocalRepoFileInitializerTest#testDownloadSnapshotRepo depends on possible missing external resources

[olamy]

the test MavenLocalRepoFileInitializerTest#testDownloadSnapshotRepo depends on downloading snapshot jars from https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/jetty-snapshots/ with hardcoded version 10.0.0-SNAPSHOT.
the test should be rewrite to use https://www.mojohaus.org/mrm/mrm-maven-plugin/ and download current installed version.

The whole point of that test is to ensure that the start.jar follows maven convention for snapshot metadata.

We've filed an issue with oss.sonatype.org btw to address the missing jetty-snapshots repo

oss-sonatype has restored the missing jetty-snapshots repo

[olamy]

need to be fixed as after a cleanup of snapshots in oss.sonatype.org builds are now failing

[joakime]

We should probably look into having a repo.webtide.net that is publicly exposed and has our SNAPSHOTS on it.

@jmcc0nn3ll thoughts?

[joakime]

I'm reopening this.
We should either find a reliable way to still perform this test, or remove it.

[olamy]

I would prefer to use https://github.com/mojohaus/mrm which local installed snapshots as part of the build.
no need of external resource.
No urgent for now but need to be done.
