Robert, Thanks for offering help. Let's maybe start by analyzing the list of dependencies that come out from external repos (e.g. by commenting out all references to such external repos in all poms, and trying to build both Cayenne and the Modeler with a clean local repo). If we are lucky and can find all the sources, we can prepare the bundles and submit them to Central:
https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Uploading+3rd-party+Artifacts+to+Maven+Central If not, we'll setup Nexus on ObjectStyle. So the use of ObjectStyle repo will be minimized (and since we are relying on it already, it won't get any worse for the users who are blocked now).
