repository.
The 'apache repository' and the ones maven can use (note that maven can have multiple repositories) are not necessarily one and the same thing. We have a 'repository' at a customer site I work on, as well as one at the office. Apache hosting its own (of whatever format is agreed) would be a good idea, IMHO. Having it mirrored would also be good.
Okay I can buy that.
Agreed. And beyond. There are many things that could be shared use that Maven does not yet do. These common tools and their common descriptors, and maybe later mirrored repositories are what ruper (the name is irrelevant) is about. A project to provide this in a way that everyone can use. Thats all. It will be most useful as a collaboration between Maven, Ant and Centipede committers as well anyone else who builds a Java aproject at Apache.
Sure, but let's not lose focus of what this is for. Distribution? Building? A company/individual can set up their own repository of jars (we all do) that they've accepted licenses for. The 'tools' should be able to work with that set up, similar to how Maven does today.
