They could, but since these are being treated as 3rd party jars (i.e not created as artifacts from a Maven project) it really doesnt make sense IMO. > >> From what I read on the rules for submission to Maven Central, we need > to provide javadoc- and source- jars for all the artifacts.

That doesn't mean they are "2.2.2", but we need to approve > the artifacts. Does anyone feel otherwise? I think we should stick with 2.2.1, but yes we should approve them. Note, we will most likely need to change the deploy script to use the GPG plugin instead of the deploy plugin. Let me know if you need a hand Regards Dennis
