[dash-dev] Maven (again)

I've updated the Maven configuration so that it shouldn't have the same duplication of data for repo1/repo2 as there's now a 'central' which has repo1/repo2 as mirrors. 

I've also discovered that basically the jobs on nexus are broken, and there's nothing obvious as to why. I suspect a nexus restart may fix it, but since I don't know if it's being used or not, I suggest doing it at a quieter time of day.

The trash appears to build up and never get emptied; the automated empty job appears to fail as well. Plus, the performance of IO on the VM is so hideously bad that deleting files is a real nightmare; to clean up the code, I had to execute:

cd sonatype-work/nexus/trash
for i in */*/*
do
rm -rf $i &
done

Whilst you can theoretically do this in a single rm -rf, the jobs appear to be the only way to do this in a reasonable period of time. As a result we now have almost 1/2 the box space free.

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda2             19G  8.3G  9.7G  47% /

To avoid the problems in the future, if Nexus isn't going to play ball, we should consider setting up a cron job to do the same thing, or log in and periodically flush it manually. Perhaps this will be fixed with a Nexus 2.x install instead.
