Hi Antonio, Only ManifoldCF committers can import the project into Apache svn. However, before that happens, you will need to insure the following: (1) Directory structure is compatible with connectors under the "connectors" area of ManifoldCF (2) There is both a pom.xml and a build.xml that work (3) Any additional imports that you need for building using Ant have license research done so that we know they can be included in the Apache distribution
Thanks!
