Users that want to run a Stanbol server will most likely the stable or Full launcher. So they will also not be affected by this. So only users that want to install a additional bundle (e.g. the german POS model) and users that want to configure their own launcher will be affected by this. Can we provide the data bundles as convenience binary download on the Stanbol webpage? Maybe we could prepare a script similar to the "apache-stanbol-0.9.0-incubating-deps" so that users can easily download and install the data bundles to the local repository. > The launchers are excluded because IMO the Maven central repository is > not meant to be used for such artifacts.
