Absolutely I would not be encouraging this. I don't understand maven,
but it does work (99% of the time) and I for one would prefer you
spent your valuable time on more important things. (If it were my
decision what you spent your time on.)
+1. I can offer objectstyle.org web server for that since we are
already using it for dependencies that haven't been officially
mavenized by their authors, and since hosting third party packages
on ASF infrastructure could be a bad idea.
BTW, maybe we should raise a question of pros and cons of a non-
offical repo for ASF projects on the infra (or maybe maven?) list.
Could get some advice straight from the source.
Not sure that it is necessarily a bad idea since there isn't a
license or copyright issue with redistribution, as long as it doesn't
appear that Apache endorses those libraries. And we might have some
dedicated Cayenne space soon to use...
If it does end up not on Apache.org for whatever reason I'm happy to
help spread the load a bit with the three colo servers I have. Just
let me know if this is helpful.
