 Hey... MAVENUPLOAD at codehaus is *THE* *WAY* artifacts use to be placed
 in central by the ASF ;-) . Or at least this is what maven tells to the
 world:
 http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html

 I can also confirm that I have successfully created a pom for dnsjava,
 uploaded it to codehaus MAVENUPLOAD JIRA and someone published it to the
 maven central repository.

 I just repeat that MOST projects in ASF are using the poms included in
 central and this is a big issue that is being mostly ignored,
 unfortunately. That is why I think the PPMC are not being diligent and
 the board should help spreading this issue and coordinate all the PPMCs
 to find a common solution to this issue.

using artifacts from the maven repository does not worry me:
distributing artifacts does

I understand this, but I didn't understand why.
If that file is under an acceptable license then we can use and redistribute it, otherwise we can't use and redistribute it IMO.

BTW, you are more experienced in this and your idea give me a solution, so I won't fight this ;-)

Noel, Bernd and everyone else: will you oppose a change to jspf to remove the stage folder so that offline builds will no more be available but we don't need to ship this pom?
