This is Stephen's department. He told me he is investigating your previous 
question.

To download external dependecies, you need to define a <resource> in your 
index.xml. You probably then just define a plugin section in your project.

Ex from planet/facilities/index.xml

  <project basedir="console/impl">
    <info>
      <group>avalon/console</group>
      <name>avalon-console-impl</name>
      <version>1.0.0</version>
      <status>SNAPSHOT</status> 
    </info>
    <dependencies>
      <include key="avalon-framework-api"/>
      <include key="avalon-console-api"/>
      <include key="avalon-composition-api"/>
    </dependencies>
    <plugins>
      <include key="avalon-meta-tools"/>
    </plugins>
  </project>


What is important is that the key for the <plugins> refers to the external 
resurce or internal project.

Does this makes sense?
