Description

It's pretty frequent especially in the upgrade tests for either maven or github to fail. I think they are detecting the thundering herd of containers all pulling stuff at the same time and opting out.

We can reduce this especially for maven dependencies since most are hardly ever changing by downloading everything we can in advance and baking it into the image.

When building the docker image Initialize the local maven repository by running ant maven-ant-tasks-retrieve-build for 2.1-trunk and do the same with CCM and the Apache repository.
