I am also bothered by this proposal as Maven Central is in my view overly restrictive.
- What about the data-only schema jars used for app-schema testing that are generated by downloading schemas with ant? These exist only to allow caching of test data so tests can (once the artifacts are in the local repository) run offline without relying on network resources. - What about the refdataset jar for GeoServer app-schema database testing (not even under version control let alone a proper pom)? I would love to see an scm link that points back to a maven repo. :-> I do not think these are a good fit with Maven Central's world view. Not to mention having somewhere to deploy an unofficial handcrafted milestone when we have a killer problem with a dependency and are getting no joy with upstream? Or the time we had no GWC release and made a handcrafted milestone to release against. The osgeo repo allows us to adopt these pragmatic workarounds. The osgeo maven repository is in my view an workable solution for these cases. Can osgeo put a varnishd in front of apache and be done with it? Kind regards, Ben.
