> Hi All!
> The Maven repository is getting bigger and bigger and I think there must be
> some restrictions when adding components (read jars, wars,ears etc) to it. I
> tried to make a mirror via rsync and got a lot of example wars, example jars
> etc. Why are there war-files in the Maven repo at all? Why does Geronimo have
> all their jar files in the global maven repository? Wouldn't it be better to
> have a spearate repo for non-util products like Apache Tomcat, Apache
> Geronimo, JBoss, etc., etc.
> I agree to the fact that the repository shall contain most of the components
> you might need in your development but I don't need war files, I dont need
> example files and most probably I don't need app server jar files. What I
> need is software components from the repo - not fully functional programs
> that I can download from resp. vendor page. These fully functional program
> files are taking up so much HD space and is probably a huge reason why a
> rsync process will conatin synciong for hours.
> So my question is - is there a job to be done here or am I just wrong (crazy)
> in my opinion above?
> Kind regards
> Oskar Carlstedt
