No, they can't. They can put them in their own repo, but they can't put them in the official ones that are by default baked into Maven (the iBiblio one). At the end of the day, I don't see what the big deal is. For those of us who want Maven, we need to step up and make it work seamlessly. Why should you care if we do that? Given it gets fixed, it won't effect you. I understand your concern now since it is broken, so I stand by the thought that if we (the Maven campers) can't fix it by the next release it can be dropped for that release. -Grant
