With some help from @mcculls I've learned that anyone (third parties) can request any artifact to be publishing into a Maven Central group provided that the artifact can plainly be linked back to the project/domain owner, the artifact is open source, the project owners have not claimed the group (not the official wording).
The process is defined here: https://docs.sonatype.org/display/Repository/Uploading+3rd-party+Artifacts+to+The+Central+Repository Specifically in this case, anyone can ask to have artifacts published which were generated by the eclipse release process into the org.eclipse group and subgroups. Until a representative of equinox steps forward to claim org.eclipse.osgi (and associated) group(s) this chaos will continue. Here's the process: https://issues.sonatype.org/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?issuetype=21&pid=10134 So, will equinox take on this challenge? I'm willing to donate some time to this effort. I believe there are no technical barriers to doing this. However, I'm willing to help work through those that exist. Lastly, I've been pointed to and will comment on this issue: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=365798 Sincerely, - Ray On Fri, Aug 22, 2014 at 11:19 AM, Raymond Auge <[email protected]> wrote: > Someone is at least publishing the framework to MC even though it seems to > be very delayed. > > 3.10.0-v20140606-1445 <http://search.maven.org/#browse%7C-973017594> was > published just on Aug 1. > > http://search.maven.org/#browse%7C-552727178 > > Can whomever is doing that please update this artifact to the lastest SR1? > (3.10.1.v20140807-1950) > > I'd really appreciate it. > > - Ray > > > On Fri, Aug 22, 2014 at 10:59 AM, Pascal Rapicault <[email protected]> > wrote: > >> The barrier are ease of implementation, desire and time from the >> current committers. >> These could be overcome with contributions. >> >> >> On 22/08/2014 1:26 PM, Raymond Auge wrote: >> >> Hey All, >> >> I'd like to ask again what is the barrier to getting milestone builds >> into a maven repo? >> >> I mean https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/eclipse/ exists. >> Why not extend it's use for publishing milestones? >> >> Wouldn't it quite literally be a single extra command invoked during >> the release process? >> >> -- >> *Raymond Augé* <http://www.liferay.com/web/raymond.auge/profile> >> (@rotty3000) >> Senior Software Architect >> *Liferay, Inc.* <http://www.liferay.com> (@Liferay) >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> equinox-dev mailing [email protected] >> To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe from >> this list, visithttps://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/equinox-dev >> >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> equinox-dev mailing list >> [email protected] >> To change your delivery options, retrieve your password, or unsubscribe >> from this list, visit >> https://dev.eclipse.org/mailman/listinfo/equinox-dev >> > > > > -- > *Raymond Augé* <http://www.liferay.com/web/raymond.auge/profile> > (@rotty3000) > Senior Software Architect > *Liferay, Inc.* <http://www.liferay.com> (@Liferay) > > -- *Raymond Augé* <http://www.liferay.com/web/raymond.auge/profile> (@rotty3000) Senior Software Architect *Liferay, Inc.* <http://www.liferay.com> (@Liferay)
