hi mark
i've given it a go myself but i have a few questions and i'd appreciate it if you'd check my work so far.

You need to establish what your groups id will be. The current naming trend for Apache "xml" projects has been a bit haphazard.

Some standardization here would be good. But that will not effect maven.
i've had a chat on IRC and gone for apache-jaxme
There is currently a problem with Maven publishing to a BSD system and md5 signature generation, if you do not want to use maven to do the publishing then these are the tasks you need to complete:
1.) The easiest way right now is for you to place the jars into
java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/...
gone (but apache-jaxme rather than xml-jaxme)
2.) Generate an md5 signature for each one in the same directory. For instance as an examples
"md5 xml-jaxme-1.0.jar > xml-jaxme-1.0.jar.md5" will produce:
java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/xml-jaxme-1.0.jar java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/xml-jaxme-1.0.jar.md5
done
3.) Generate the following symlinks the above files from
java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/xml-jaxme-SNAPSHOT.jar java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/xml-jaxme-SNAPSHOT.jar.md5
done
4.) and create a file
java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/xml-jaxme-snapshot-version with the contents "1.0"
these releases are versioned 0.2: should this file contain 0.2 (since it refers to the version of the jars) or 1.0 (since it's a mavenesque version number)
5.) use the following "POM" in the
java-repository/xml-jaxme/poms/project/pom <project> <pomVersion>3</pomVersion> <id>xml-jaxme</id> <name>xml-jaxme</name> <currentVersion>1.0</currentVersion> <organization> <name>Apache Software Foundation</name> <url>www.apache.org</url> </organization> <licenses> <license> <name>ASL 2.0</name> <url>???????</url> <comments>???????</comments> </license> </licenses> </project>
there are a number of jar in the release. i'd been working on the theory that each needs a separate artifact id. what should the contents of the file be in this case?
