There are plenty of Jakarta (and Apache) mirrors around. However, there's always the question of trust. People are always supposed to verify their downloads from a mirror against the signatures on the main Apache site. For an automated build process to be trustworthy, it would either have to do that same verification automatically (unlikely, IMHO) or obtain its dependencies from an Apache server. That means an Apache repo, as Steve suggested. -- Martin Cooper > -Tim > > Steve Raeburn wrote: > > >http://maven.apache.org/repository-upload.html > > > >Perhaps, if Maven is widely adopted by Apache projects, it would make > >sense to set up an Apache based repository.
