Description:
Maven itself can't know about all jars, but the developers who make the 
dependencies know. I suggest that (a) maven get a feature which allows it to 
retrieve from the repository information about an undownloadable jar, and (b) 
developers who depend on such jars put such information in the repository. 
All it has to be is a short note saying "Sun does not allow this jar to be 
distributed automatically. Please go to this page to get it." Of course, no 
rush, I would like to see some bugs fixed first, but this would be a whole 
lot nicer than "no such jar aaaarrrgggh.'
