Felipe,

to be breif.

Yes, but, you should do all your work to setup the directory structure in a 
staging area like your home directory before placing anything into these 
directories. Have someone else whose done the process review everything prior 
to moving it into the repository.

I don't believe that removing something from java-repository actually removes 
it from ibiblio because of the rsync process. Yes, you should leave whatever 
is on ibiblio there at this time.

thats fine.

SNAPSHOT is different than unofficial release, SNAPSHOT referes to a link to 
the most recent release. an unofficial release is one that has the date as a 
version number, thus there can be SNAPSHOTS that point to official releases in 
the repository.

Cheers, I'll be around next week if you need help, but I don't suspect I'll 
have time to respond the rest of this week.
