Well, it can be. If you want to switch your projects to deploy to the Sonatype repo instead of java.net, then it's trivial. See: http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/04/uploading-artifacts-to-the-central- maven-repository-diy/ Anything projects deploy there get synced to central within hours. Not sure if that would be allowed for projects at java.net, but definitely worth pursuing. > As for the other point you mention, I'm not quite sure.

It's the "dead" plugins in jaxb-commons that really have no maintainer at all that I'm kind of concerned with. At least at Apache, someone would be around to apply patches and do periodic releases if someone files an bug with a patch. -- Daniel Kulp [email protected] http://dankulp.com/blog
