There is no problem with that, and this is not specific to the other projects. 
We had to put a lot 
of files "by hands" for Geotools to. But "by hand" should means using "mvn 
deploy:deploy-file", not 
a copy-and-paste. See:

    http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GEOT/How+to+add+a+3rd+party+jar

Generally speaking, we should never put a file by "copy-and-paste" on a Maven 2 
repository (except 
maybe for fixing errors or cleaning things a bit). "mvn deploy:deploy-file" is 
designed specifically 
for deploying non-Maven files in a Maven repository.

Thats fine, but it make do difference in the way to manage the repository...

I don't think that we need separated repositories. A single repository (with 
mirrors) fit very well. 
But maybe we should try to clean it a little bit before to let too many users 
depends on the content.

I basically suggest to use the maven.geotools.fr/repository content as a 
starting point in a clean 
directory, then copy-and-paste (an exception to the above rule - but we are 
just trying to organize 
ourself with the minimum disturbances) the directories containing extra 
librairies (not the Geotools 
and GeoAPI librairies, in order to avoid conflict with existing Geotools 
libraries from the previous 
repository). From that point, lets try to use only "mvn deploy:xxx" for the 
future.

Would it make sense?
