A few months ago I opened a tomcat issue requesting them to publish
the tomcat jars to a maven repo.
http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41093
Yesterday they marked the issue as resolved since the tomcat jars are
now available at http://tomcat.apache.org/dev/dist/m2-repository, but
Ug... why on earth is Tomcat not just using the standard Maven 2
repos that the rest of us have to use? This is so annoying. If
they just published to m2-ibiblio-rsync-repository then they would be
done already.
commented that they would publish to central if there is a way to work
around a problem with PGP signatures:
Doesn't seem like I can publish to the central repo
because it requires PGP signatures and maven
doesn't let you do that with single JAR if you're not
building with Maven.
If you have a way to get the PGP info in there in
the way we are doing it now, let us know and
open a new bug.
If anyone knows of a way to sign single JARs not built with maven then
please enlighten us or just go ahead open a new tomcat bug with the
details. This may be the only remaining impediment towards making the
tomcat jars available on central.
Blah... I assume this is an Ant-based project? So either write a
small task to invoke gpg (peep at how the mvn plugin works for where
to start http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/maven/plugins/trunk/maven-
gpg-plugin/), or write a macro to invoke an exec task def to invoke
gpg to sign things.
Then just use the Maven antlib tasks to deploy each file one by
one... and if you find that doesn't work, then implement your own scp
to install the files and/or complain to the mvn team to add support
for better ant-based deployment. Or just switch to Maven.
Either way, they should be able to do all of this by hand to get
around any current issues they have with their lack of build
expertise. Highly annoyed that we have waited so long for them to
basically do nothing.

Okay, hopefully they will get the kinks out soon ;-)
