Geee ... I already thought I might have mis-expressed myself.

I didn't setup the build to "release" anything in a software release manner. I 
have setup the job to publish SNAPSHOT versions of BlazeDS (I did manage to 
deploy a first set of snapshots manually, but now it's happening automatically).

This ist he usual way software is developed using maven. Noone would use 
SNAPSHOT versions in public (Acutally you can't even release anything that 
relys on SNAPSHOT verisons). This is the way a work in progress is shipped to 
early adopters and I think it's a very good approach. And it's an approach 
allmost all other Apache projects go.

If we took this even further and we published snapshot versions for all Flex 
sub-projects. People could start working with 4.14 while it is being developed 
and report back problems way before we have released a new version, just by 
changing 1.13.0 to 1.14-SNAPSHOT.

Hi,

Agreed - that's why we shouldn't be making publicly available in the Apache 
repo.

With my PMC hat on. Legal issues are important. it looks like we may be 
publishing 3rd party jars and all sort of other things that could get up into 
trouble, like for instance not having a LICENSE file. Please let hold off 
publishing it for now until we can give it a good looking over.

There's no need to publicly publish this to work out and fix what those issues 
are, none of the issues I raised are a hinderance or obstruction to currently 
development.

Currently I don't have the spare time, but other people are welcome to do so. 
In fact I'd prefer if someone else does it so they can gain experience at this 
task. I'm happy to help out and review when I can.

Thanks,
Justin
