can we expect them to migrate to http://download.java.net/maven/2/ ?
Maybe
some evangelism / lobbying could help ;)
I think with a little help we could help them flip it. I know that
Kohsuke wants to. I don't think they actually use m1 anymore, they
just haven't gotten around to converting it.
A repo manager can safely convert such repo on the fly to default
layout,
but this is an extra infrastructure setup that mostly target
entreprises,
not considering standalone (laptop) use. For this reason I'm only +0
with
this proposal.
There are also the conversion tools which don't require any additional
infrastructure but a switch. But a repository manager is a best way to
migrate I think.
As the repository is hidden by Mercury abstraction (AFAIK), would this
really make Maven simplier ?

Hi,
Maven 2.x has been out for quite some number of years now, and I
wanted to
float the idea of stopping support for the legacy repository format
in 3.x?
There are tools now that can convert repository formats, and I
believe all
of the three popular repository managers support dynamic mapping to
legacy
format for Maven 1.x clients.
Thanks,
Jason
