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.

Your help on the Maven configuration and build scripts is much appreciated!
