I tend to agree with Mathieu.
The above approach would also cover another concern I had with some of the
proposals: since release files can be downloaded by a potentially large
number of users, they must be distributed thru the mirror network [*];
distributing the wrapper jar from our svn, git or website would not scale
up well and could cause excessive load on these server.
