Hi Jason, I apologize for my lack of clarity -- by non-TIM artifacts I was thinking along the lines of normal versions of jetty, hibernate, wicket, etc. The idea would be that the user could swap out normal versions of hibernate & ehcache without having to change the artifacts throughout the POM, but instead list the TIM repository first since Maven 2 will look there first for artifacts.
Hope this helps, Jim On Tue, May 20, 2008 at 2:30 PM, Jason Voegele <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tuesday 20 May 2008 1:07:08 pm Jim Bethancourt wrote: > > I was thinking it would be helpful to have a Maven 2 repo with TIM > modules > > that have the same version numbers as the non-TIM artifacts, or instruct > > users on how to create their own local "clustered" TIM repository that > has > > the latest TIM modules for the artifacts.
