Title: Added empty directories and support for Maven users with non-standard local repo location

Hi all,

These commits add some empty directories (which were causing the Maven build to fail) which I think were deleted (Git doesn't support empty directories) when the apache svn repo was moved in to GitHub. I have re-created them each containing a single, empty .gitignore file which allows Git to persist them.

Secondly I have changed the way the local Maven repo is looked up, it was previously hard coded to look in the default location, it now takes the value from the user's settings.xml so it can pick up an overridden value if there is one, else will still use the default if not set in settings.xml

Hope this is helpful - a 'mvn clean install' now completes successfully from a fresh GitHub fork without it being necessary to make any modifications which should be encouraging to new roller users.

Cheers,

Edd
