Hi Brandon,

Thanks for replying.  Comments in-line....

There seems to be a bit of an anti-maven culture in the stripes community, which is probably why it still hasn't been resolved.
Hmmm.... Interesting. I'm not sure what the anti-maven sentiment is but as far as "many" Java developers are concerned it really is refreshing and simplifies multi-project dependencies, external dependencies, etc... . I have never tried getting something submitted to a maven central repository but a local repository is dirt simple to setup.

The only real issue I have with Maven is that the artifact has to be in repo before it can be accessed. So until that happens I do agree that making the software available for direct download is very useful and nice BUT getting it into the repo after some reasonable time is also important IMHO.

There was a thread a little while back about this, and Freddy tried to get the artifact deployed to repo1 through the codehaus manual upload service. The JIRA ticket showing the result is here http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MAVENUPLOAD-2716 . The result was that the upload was rejected because no javadocs were included, and no one replied when codehaus tried to bring this fact to the submitters attention.
I saw that thread today which also is over 2 months old and replied to it before seeing this e-mail. Seeing that the submit:
- a) Hasn't been done in well over 2 months
- b) Got rejected and not re-addressed
AND
- c) finally that the issue was closed without remedy...

IS NOT the right message I would want to send potential and existing consumers of any software.

If we were really serious about it, we should probably sign up for the freely available Sonatype service, which provides a pretty impressive hosting service and handles uploads to repo1 automatically.

I could set it up if I had explicit permission to do so.
If that would facilitate getting new releases into repo1 then I am all for it.

I'm not very familiar with the internal workings of OS software. Who would need to provide explicit permission?

Perhaps this thread needs to be moved to the stripes-development mailing list :-)

Thanks,

--Nikolaos
