Hi all.
As you may know, Sun has recently announced releasing Java products as
open-source.
See: http://www.sun.com/software/opensource/java/
The question is if from now on, tools like ivy and maven would be able to
get Sun's artifacts freely and automatically?
Until recently, Sun required you to agree on their license prior to
(manual)
downloading.
Do you think this is going to change?
If so, do you think we (as Ivy and Maven users) should ask sun to let the
tools download the artifacts automatically?
This is probably a q. for the repository mail list.
Once the artifacts get freed up, then yes, we should be able to pull
them down. There is a small m1 repository on java.net that serves up
some of the javaEE stuff already.
