Hello snmp4j community, I'm using Apache Maven as build tool and to obtain snmp4j binaries I'm using https://server.oosnmp.net/dist/release as a repository. There is a problem with server certificate, it's not signed directly by a common Java trusted certificate authority CA, there is a additional certificate in the chain which is not trusted. To have Maven to be able to access snmp4j repo, this certificate needs to be added to trusted ones, on every developers machine.
Also, having additional repository in list of repositories slows down a build since it will be consulted if it contains build dependencies, and it contains only one, snmp4j. It is great that there is snmp4j Maven repository, thanks for providing it and publishing Maven artifacts at all, but IMO it would be much better if artifacts from snmp4j repository would be synced to Maven central. Then snmp4j users which use Maven as build tool would not have to configure any additional repository in their build scripts, also no certificate issues, and it would improve build time. AFAIK it's enough to create a ticket on either https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH or https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/MVNCENTRAL JIRA, and Sonatype will configure syncing. I read now that they prefer using (publishing project artifacts to) approved repositories (see http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html#Approved_Repository_Hosting) instead of syncing project specific repositories to Central, but I syncing is still an option. Have snmp4j developers thought about having snmp4j repository synced to Maven central?
