It is a workaround to use svn as the maven repo to host some dependencies
that are not in the central maven repo. I would like to keep it before we
can push all the dependencies into the central maven repo. As Luciano
pointed out, getting third party jars into maven central repo is really
painful and we cannot afford the "wait" in such cases.
I thought svn is more reliable than the people.apache.org. The Axis2 folks
have ws zone. Can we get one :-)?
Thanks,
Raymond

How would we go about publishing dependencies that are not available
in a public maven repo ? Should we use p.a.o instead of svn ? I
believe Raymond and I have tried the maven central in the past without
much luck.
AIUI the feeling within the ASF and Maven project is that repositories
in the ASF SVN are a "terrible idea". No offical policy yet that I've
seen but other projects that had them are getting rid of them, eg
