Hi, I was wondering if maven repository structure can be exploited to also distribute java applications. Same repository structure may be used on client side for installing and launching java apps. I see many benefit in doing so (cleaner application packaging, minimum download, standard directory structure, simple upgrade (much like Debian)). Are there any good reasons why maven should not be used as application installer and launcher? Or is it already done and I slept a bit too much.
