In my reply I also raised a few problems with that idea and proposed a
different solution (evolution of that idea) where we didn't need a
shared repository but we simply include the per-project jars in the
source tree for that project like we do for ant-based projects (simply
using a different convention for the lib folder structure).
This is how jspf and mime4j currenlty builds and it is working. On
repository they didn't reply about this solution.
I think this is the best from both world and much more similar to how we
do things using ant.

AFAICT the maven build for jsdf and mime4j hits the local filesystem
only and not any ASF servers. opinions differ about whether storing
artifacts in the repository is a good idea but james does so i see no
reasons for infrastructure to object to this arrangement.

BTW using minotaur.apache.org in a pom is not recommended. please use
an appropriate virtual host (for example people.apache.org).
