forge startup fails as repository info is missing

On a fresh checkout of jdf with forge 1.1.2, forge fails with errors

http://pastebin.com/q5knCq3e

when running it in ticket-monster/demo.

Also running "run admin_layer.fsh" inside forge fails.

Editing demo/pom.xml and adding repositories a la

<repositories>
<repository>
<id>jboss-public-repo-group</id>
<name>JBoss Public Repository Group</name>
<url>http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
<!-- Explicitly disable snapshots, so Maven won't try to
check for updates for snapshot internal (rhq-*) deps. -->
<snapshots>
<enabled>false</enabled>
</snapshots>
</repository>

<pluginRepositories>

<pluginRepository>
<id>jboss-public-repo-group</id>
<name>JBoss Public Repository Group</name>
<url>http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public/</url>
</pluginRepository>

<pluginRepository>
<id>jboss-central-mirror-repo-group</id>
<name>JBoss Public Repository Group</name>
<url>https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/developer/</url>
</pluginRepository>

</pluginRepositories>

makes the forge startup quiet without errors.
And also allows to "run admin_layer.fsh"

Resetting pom.xml to the version from git after this has once run still allows forge to run, so it looks like forge is missing some maven plugins / dependencies that it can not obtain from central.
