Add the option for distributions to disable dependency downloads
The dependencies will still be checked but no download will actually
occur. This allows a distribution to provide its own built binaries
while making sure no other ones are included.
Could you explain the use for this some more. I don't understand what
problem it is trying to solve.
I wasn't convinced initially either.
It's the usual Linux distribution business that rebuilds everything. When
Tomcat adds a new dependency, it could be included via automatic non
rebuilt download and instead they only want to use the jars from their own
packages so they prefer an error.
Got it. That makes sense.
While I can think of other ways to achieve the same aim, none are as
clean as that property.
