we need them unless we make long-overdue changes to how external-path  
works:

- external-path should refer to an actual path, either absolute or  
rooted at the server home or base dir (I can't figure out which is  
which)
- a new tag should be added to look in the repo, and it should have  
the option of version-independence, i.e. it should contain an artifact.

There might be a jira about this.

thanks
