Also (from the JenaProposal):

I am still unclear if these sort of messages is appropriate here or
they should go to jena-devel.
The Jena GRDDL Reader has these dependencies (in addition to Jena2
and ARQ): Saxon-HE v9.x(?) [1], CyberNeko HTML Parser v0.9.5(?) [2],
BrowserLauncher2 v1.0(?) [3] and XML Commons Resolver v1.2 (?) [4].
AFAIK only nekohtml and xml-commons-resolver are currently in the
Maven repo [5,6].
I don't see where XML Commons Resolver is actually used, but this
could just be my ignorance of Xerces and/or Saxon internals.
How this will impact the building/releasing process within the
Apache incubator?
Maven artifacts are not mandatory (which is good):
"Releases for podling MUST be distributed through
http://www.apache.org/dist/incubator/podling In addition,
the Podling MAY choose to distribute approved releases through
other channels like the central Maven repository." [7]
However, I'd like to publish GRDDL artifacts in the Maven repo,
as well as all the other Jena artifacts [8].
These are also relevant:
"Besides, we discourage putting release repository/pluginRepository
in your POM. In ideal conditions, all your dependencies should
be already in central and central repository is self-contained.
Otherwise people's build might break because of missing dependencies.
If some of your dependencies are not in central, please upload them
using our 3rd-party artifacts bundle upload service." [9] via [10]
"While most projects understand the importance of publishing artifacts
to Central, there are still a few projects out there that don't have
the same appreciation. When a project refuses to upload artifacts to
Central, for whatever reason, we encourage people to submit artifact
bundles to Central themselves.
Sonatype is replacing this process with a self-serve approach. If you
want to get a specific library into the Central repository, all you
need to do is sign up for an account on https://issues.sonatype.org/,
create an artifact bundle, and upload it to a staging repository.
Sonatype will perform some due diligence to make sure that the
artifact has a license compatible with unrestricted distribution,
and we will then promote the uploaded artifacts to the Central
Maven repository." [11]
You can include me with the people who do appreciate finding artifacts in
the Maven Central repository (no matter how they are produced: Maven,
Ant+Ivy,
etc.).
Any help/suggestion is more than welcome,
Paolo
