I have no problem with maven doing whatever it pleases. The subject of this thread was about the jar repository on daedalus - and about who will oversee it. Maven can choose to not participate - but it can't choose to put it under its charter. I see no problem if Ant, Gump, Centipede cooperate on the jar repository - and maven doesn't. AFAIK Gump and Centipede does not compete with ant or with each other - quite the contrary. If maven wants to compete with ant or gump - that's great, competition is a good way to improve.
