PRO: It solves the above problems in a way widely used/supported by the Java community.

That "local" Library/Frameworks folder would have symlinks to the central location of frameworks coming from trunk, and if some framework is not coming from trunk, it is build with the application job.

That seems like the best option IMHO. :)
Maven integrates very well with Hudson. In most cases, you just have to configure the source URL and the goals you want to execute. Maven does all the job for you, including dependency management.
