Using github as a maven repo

2014-03-05 Thread Howard
Hi all I should preface this all by saying that I am not an experienced maven user, though I would not describe myself as a complete newbie, so I won't be too surprised if I am just doing something stupid here. Please let me know if this is the wrong group for this type of question. I've

From the point of view of Git, you're bloating your repo forcing everyone to download all the JARs when they clone your repo. From the point of view of GitHub, they don't want you to do that and might very well break it in the future. At least use gh-pages, but that doesn't solve the Git issue.
