No - Adobe has not released the jars in manner that would allow people to "host" the jars, which is what a maven repository is.
We have installed the jars into a local "internal" repository not accessible to the outside. We used a "com.adobe.flex" groupId, and the artifactId identical to the jar names, and version 2.0.0. Unfortunately we're still having some trouble deploying in WebLogic, because we have some limits around how we can deploy, and there are some limitations in FDS we are running into. Specifically that the .swf sets the location of the data services at compile time. This means that we cannot create a single .swf that can be deployed locally, in a share dev environment, in a QA/Testing environment, then in staging and/or production. Our clients are large fortune 500 companies that require that only tested binary packages be deployed to production, so we have had to do all sorts of exceptions to allow for deployment of .mxml files. Usually corporate policies oppose deploying source files to production environments. Note that Maven makes many of the same assumptions around binary packaging. This then has been problematic in turn, because of how WebLogic fails to explode the war in a consistent way that would allow the FDS and other flex stuff to write to the filesystem. The assumptions made in such file access do not match the weird organization of WebLogic's cached, exploded .war and .ear structures. So we have to deploy exploded and get all sorts of exceptions to our client's deployment policies. So I encourage you to put the flex jars in a maven repo, and I hope you're not using WebLogic too. :) If you start getting craziness upon attempts to deploy, remember the above, and see if you can build per environment, or if you can deploy exploded with .mxml jars. there are some bugs still and the next version of Flex is supposed to eliiminate this hard-coding in the .swf of the fds location. It's crazy in the mean-time. Incidentally, if you are deploying .mxml and therefore have to deploy the compiler servlet and mxmlc.jar etc., the maven folks suggested that you use the "dependency" plugin to copy certain appropriate jars (mxmlc, swfkit, etc.) into a temporary "resource" directory, then use the .war resource filtering to pack those resources into WEB-INF/flex/jars at package time.
