Fixed in http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1577446

At the moment, the only external repository that we're depending on is the Activiti/Alfresco one - this one can be removed as soon as SM-2229 gets resolved.

I did push the repository definition down from the root POM into the modules that really require it in order to limit its impact.

We really need to get rid of the remaining repository definitions - just spent some time troubleshooting a dependency resolution issue on the machine I was using for building the release. The problem was caused by this POM, which looks nothing like the "real thing":
https://nexus.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/org/apache/felix/org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime/0.10.0/org.apache.felix.gogo.runtime-0.10.0.pom

At revision 1578357 on tag http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/smx5/tags/servicemix-5.0.0,

I've been able to build Servicemix with only Maven Central Repo and the following artifacts:
org.activiti/activiti-camel/5.10 => https://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/
org.activiti/activiti-engine/5.10 => https://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/
org.activiti/activiti-osgi/5.10 => https://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/
org.activiti/activiti-root/5.10 => https://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/
org.activiti/activiti-spring/5.10 => https://maven.alfresco.com/nexus/content/groups/public/
org.eclipse/osgi/3.8.0.v20120529-1548 => http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/servicemix/m2-repo/
everything else => maven central

maybe the above artifacts could be released to Maven Central Repo too and get rid of external repositories?
