some Maven/repository details that I don't think were clear in previous threads:
1. central repo must be self contained, all artifacts in central repository must have dependencies already in central, only exception is if license doesn't allow redistribution but in that case the pom must be there explaining what that artifact is. 2. per #1 projects with incubating dependencies can't be in central 3. it's an apache policy not to put incubating artifacts in central, not a "central repository" policy, which could mean that incubating projects could put their artifacts in org.myproject.... it'd be a problem between them and the ASF 4. all repositories in the pom will be pinged until the dependency is downloaded, this is by design, we don't want to specify for each dependency where it is 5. order of repos is not defined so far, so central can be pinged for incubating artifacts or p.a.o for central artifacts before they are downloaded, the performance problem would only happen in the second case hope I put some light in the issue --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
