I don't still agree with Robert point (IMO he misunderstood what artifacts we use and how), anyway I just published my MIT licensed copy of 3.2.3 wrapper here: http://people.apache.org/~bago/third-party/ I checked it is bit-per-bit identical to the one in the maven central and also identical to the one that can be obtained on the official sourceforge repository: http://sourceforge.net/projects/wrapper/files/wrapper/Wrapper_3.2.3_20061016/ In order to use it we'd have to include people.apache.org as a repository (and to publish it in a maven repository layout structure, not legacy as maven 3 doesn't support legacy anymore, AFAIK). This will also prevent publishing james artifacts in central as central doesn't allow pom's with external repositories. So I think we should simply use the tar.gz from central as it contains a valid and compatible license and Robert concerns are invalid in our real use-case (Robert said he reviewed the jar and the pom, and not the artifact we use: the tar.gz).
