Cocoon (maintenance branch 2.1) has currently 111 jars with about 40 MB in its repository (+ the one for the environment [2]), we are regularly upgrading them and it has never been seen as a problem from infrastructure team. > I would instead prefer to see ant builds using "get" to download jars as > needed.

But with Ant it's at least better than with Maven as the build environment itself does not get changed. My concerns are raised after one year mess with Maven in Cocoon trunk.
