As a replacement of sonatype, I would need 2 things:
- a place to publish nightly/weekly builds
- an entry in maven central (with a 2 step procedure, that's fine)

I don't need the sonatype ui, so publishing/releasing through maven commandline 
would be fine with me.

I think eclipse could offer a location for nightly builds (to be consumed by maven) and entry point into maven central. Eclipse.org does not need to offer an eternal durable maven repo. I would just use maven central for that.

Martin,

And you would not want to use something @ eclipse that didn't have the staging functionality that exists on oss.sonatype.org <http://oss.sonatype.org> correct?

cheers,
jesse

    I agree with Jesse...

    Maybe it is best to take maven.eclipse.org down, but don't do anything else 
unless someone takes responsibility
    and there is funding to do so.

    I currently publish EMF Texo/Teneo and EMF jars through sonatypeto get them 
on maven.central. It works fine, but I
    find it strange that eclipse projects have to use a 3rd party to get their 
code on maven central. I would expect
    eclipse.org <http://eclipse.org>to provide a service similar to sonatype...

    Just my 2 cents...

    If it is only going to be a proxy for maven central, then that is fine and 
you should go for it, but if you're
    planning on having projects actually deploy to it and/or build out the 
story for syncing to maven central then
    all of that should be ironed out ahead of time and wired up accordingly.

    Maven repositories are meant to be durable and exist forever, unlike orbit 
repositories that are transitory and
    exist for small windows of time.  If you screw something up with Orbit then 
no biggy, it will eventually just
    disappear and problem solved.  With a maven repository once it is released 
it is locked away for time eternal,
    which is why I am such a strong proponent of having staging repositories so 
upon release you can give things a
    pre-flight check before releasing it and locking it down.

    Once you set this up and take ownership of it you are making a contract 
with anyone that uses it that you will
    support the stuff in there from that point on.  None of this disappearing 
repository stuff where you check out an
    old tag and some repository you built against is now missing and perhaps 
replaced with a different version of
    some dependency.

        Hi Everyone,

        Per Bug 394792 I'm looking at moving maven.eclipse.org 
<http://maven.eclipse.org> to become a managed service
        at Eclipse. I plan on tackling this issue soon and was wondering if 
taking this server down would affect any
        projects?

        Some things we'd like to do is update the Nexus server version as well 
as restart the service from a fresh
        configuration, essentially start over.

        Thanks,


        Thanh
