Relying on random public repos can be treacherous. Artifacts there can come and go without notice. For now I feel like the safest way is to keep maintaining the "dependencies" file that Eshan put in Jira for things that are not in central, and put them in the repo that we control (ObjectStyle.org ... should prolly install a repo manager on that server to simplify maintenance). Also I noticed that Tycho project (http://www.eclipse.org/tycho/) seems to allow access to Eclipse p2 repositories. Not being an Eclipse developer I've no idea whether those contain needed artifacts, but from those 15 minutes that I spent reading on it, that might be *the way* to handle dependencies. Can somebody comment on that? Andrus
