+1. If it's not in Maven, it is not easily usable... Gary
From: Bernd Eckenfels [mailto:e...@zusammenkunft.net] Sent: Tuesday, May 8, 2018 05:13 To: j-users@xerces.apache.org Subject: Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT]: Apache Xerces-J 2.12.0 now available Hello, Can this process be changed? What is not on central does virtually not exist and the ASF should have a interest in a clean Apache group repo. The official ASF repo is automatically synced to maven central, so it just needs publishing to the nexus repo. This is especially easy as it allows staging so it is also good for the review process. http://www.apache.org/dev/publishing-maven-artifacts.html Yes binaries are not officially part of an ASF release even though they are effectively the main thing (our) users need. Allowing community without a fixed process in this critical part of the software chain looks dangerous to me.

Michael Glavassevich, replied to a question on same topic on list j-...@xerces.apache.org<mailto:j-...@xerces.apache.org> a while ago as follows, "Maven has never been part of our release process. Other people from the community would have uploaded those previous releases." I hope that could answer the question. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi ================================ Rocket Software, Inc. and subsidiaries ? 77 Fourth Avenue, Waltham MA 02451 ?
