The scp+rsync process also has a staging repository (and using that did not cause any meta-data issues). The JARs are the standard Tomcat JARs. The Maven release process just adds the metadata files and moves the JARs + metadata around. Since the JARs are already tested as part of the Tomcat release process, we never had a need to use the staging repository and I don't see that changing. There is also a snapshot repository and we did use that early on in the Tomcat 7 development process (before the first release) mainly because one user who was doing a lot of testing was using Maven and the snapshot repository was the easiest way to get them the latest build. We stopped using the snapshot repository some time ago. I can't remember if it was after the first release or after the first stable release.
