Now, in order to build a maven plugin, you need two things:
1. a repository defined in distributionManagment
2. a repository defined in <repositories/> which has the same id as the one in distributionManagement.
This is necessary, since in most cases SSH will be used in the distributionManagement definition for uploading the plugin...which means that the download of the existing plugins.xml file might not be available for users trying to run an install. SSH requires authentication information, and users (particularly those running the bootstrap) might not have this auth info.

o Added code to cache the active proxy and profile inside the Settings instance for quicker lookup.
o Added a method to initialize a new active profile for a Settings instance in the event one didn't exist.
o Started adding offline mode. So far, I've implemented:
- Warning when a mojo declares a requirement for connectivity, but we're offline.
- INFO message stating when maven is running in offline mode.
- Addition to the Profile class in o.a.m.settings package to allow specification of offline mode by declaring: <offline>true</offline>

change type of maven plugins to "maven-plugin" instead of plugin.
This should allow other products to have different plugin types, if necessary.
