Because that's not really what the plugin is intended for.

I think it's the WO dev team's intention to provide a *real* snapshot
repository, with actual nightly builds. They aren't really nightlies
if they are uploaded once a month and you need to download them
manually. The Webserver setting I feel is just a crutch until they
have the actual repository online and publically accessible.

I will probably use it to test nightlies, even if it's using mvn on
the command line and not using the plugin. I don't intend to use maven
to build *real* project though.

Keep in mind this is the WO dev team's way of providing us with a way
to *TEST NIGHTLY BUILDS* of webobjects, it's not intended as a new way
to build production WO apps. At least that is my understanding of the
situation.
