I'd like to see this broken out of Maven / Centipede whatever, and put into libraries that can be used independent of the build tools.
I also think that we need to plan for multiple repositories, whether they be ASF, ibiblio, what have you. There are two ideas going on in this thread. One is about the mechanism -- the repository, version management, dependency tracing, resource retreival etc. The other is about policy -- what kind of stuff can be in a particular repository. If the ASF ultimately decides to run its own repository with ASF policy that's fine. That shouldn't prevent the iBiblio repository (with a different policy) from continuing to exist. I'd hate to see us build mechanism that enforced policy. I'd like to lend a hand if this gets broken out into a separate project.
