Thanks for the information, Carl. The labeling and naming of the jar files may need to be considered, as well as inclusion of other information in the jars themselves. It may be appropriate to include meta-inf/LICENSE and meta-inf/NOTICE files if the jars are distributed separately from AOO binaries. There should be some information on how to find the corresponding source releases as well.
For signing and hashes, how would a recipient of these files via Maven know where to find those bits (i.e., KEYS and any hashes or their equivalents with Maven)? This looks like an opportunity to be Release Manager for these simple detached distributions. - Dennis SOME RELATED BACKGROUND There has been considerable discussion about binary distributions on some of the general lists lately. Ways of using Maven came up. I don't think that the proposed UNO Jars case is a problem so long as the material is synchronized to an official distribution from AOO. There is a draft policy on the subject. It now appears to be at the desk of VP Legal for further disposition. Depending on how these jars already accompany Apache OpenOffice releases and distributions, there may be no problem other than attention to the details I mentioned. Here is the latest draft of the proposed update/clarification of the current release policy: <https://github.com/rectang/asfrelease/blob/draft3/release.md>. The current policy is here: < http://apache.org/dev/release>. You can follow the discussion on legal-discuss @ apache.org. -----Original Message----- From: Carl Marcum [mailto:cmar...@apache.org] Sent: Friday, September 4, 2015 19:51 To: dev@openoffice.apache.org Subject: Re: [PROPOSAL][EXT] Submit UNO Java jar files to Maven Repository On 09/04/2015 08:54 PM, Dennis E.

They are included in the distribution under openoffice4/program/classes If approved, I still need to look into whether we provide the files or point to the SVN repo or something else. We may need to PGP sign the files.
