Jeremy,
I have not got around to the Java API files yet.
It is my intention to publish them from www.osoa.org, probably
bundled as a single zip or jar file. Haven't decided the exact url
yet - suggestions welcome.
I haven't given the idea of putting them on a Maven repository any
thought at all.
I would suggest publishing them in maven repo format e.g. by creating
a repo at
http://www.osoa.org/maven2
No infrastructure is needed other than a webserver with ssh access
for people authorized to publish new versions. This would allow users
to easily obtain the APIs when developing their applications; you can
also rsync this location into the central maven system so they are
available automatically (with no user configuration). Sun recently
started doing this with some of the Java APIs.
In terms of content, it would be good if you could publish:
* a bare jar that can directly be included on a classpath (no
unpacking required)
* a javadoc jar that can automatically be installed by an IDE like
Eclipse or IDEA
* online javadoc that can just be linked to
We have a version of the APIs just about ready to release that will
automatically do most of this.
