FWIW, an Incubator project to set up a formal Apache repository (Ruper) is just in the startup stages. Among other things, this will include covering the policy issues around publishing JARs into such a repository (which, after all, is effectively a release vehicle and therefore needs the same sort of management as the release directories do), and the possibility to leverage the mirrorring architecture. The initial focus is *not* going to be on tools that manage the repository, but I'm sure you'll see any necessary changes added to things like Ant and Maven in short order. Anyone interested in participating in this effort is encouraged to join the Incubator related mailling lists (start at http://incubator.apache.org and the [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list). In the mean time, though, I would suggest that we *not* try to create a Struts-specific repository that would quickly become redundant. If a short term action is needed to avoid dependence on ibiblio, we could pretty easily document how to set up and populate your own local repository. > My big project is out the door, so I'll try to sneak in some time > catching up with Struts and Maven stuff before things get away from me > again... > Your help on the Maven configuration and build scripts is much appreciated! > Joe > Craig --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
