Hibernate transactions requires JTA. I'm not sure what the license on that is but I know the artifact is not available through Maven. It would seem that there is also a problem with Facelets which is CDDL.
Why is CDDL an issue? That was on Cliff's list of acceptable licenses. One option is to make the petstore a java.net project. I'm not crazy
about shipping a WAR that is missing a key dependency. The other option is to not ship the WAR at all and just provide very detailed instructions on how to build the app using maven.
Google also just announced that they're going to do hosting of open source prrojects[1]. They are in the early days (don't even have infrastructure in place for downloading releases yet), but it has some interesting ideas. If you like labels in GMail, you'll like their approach to issue tracking. (By the way, Greg Stein is the engineering manager at Google for this project.) I tried to register "shale" as a project, but they've got an interesting twist in the signup process ... if you duplicate the name of an existing SourceForge project, they ask the owner of that project for an ok (on the theory that you might just be trying to do a "land grab" on the project names. We could undoubltedly do "shale-goodies" or "shale-petstore" or whatever there, if we wanted. Craig [1] http://code.google.com/hosting
