Well Gradle actually does use Maven repositories for resolving artifacts and you can easily use Ant+Ivy to resolve artifacts using Ant as well, so the distribution path of using Maven-Central is the only option that services all popular build tools at once. Of course, if you don't have internet, that's a problem. But then downloading a zip of jars should be equally challenging ;-)

There are definitely cases where these tools cannot connect directly (think secure corporate networks with aggressive firewall rules, or even no Internet access at all). It would be the preference for us (w/MD5s of course), but I understand the challenges. The assumption that everyone is using Maven and can build themselves is far better than "nobody cares" enough for binaries! -- Lou On Mon, 18 Apr 2016 04:18:26 +0000 Alex Harui <[email protected]> wrote: > > > On 4/16/16, 3:34 PM, "Lou" <[email protected]> wrote: > > >I noticed that Apache doesn't do convenience binaries for Blaze (is it > >due to infrequent use?) > > Do you mean a package of files similar to how Adobe shipped BlazeDS?
