Who are your users? If they are internal to you company then you solve that by using your company's internal Maven Repository Manager. If they are users on the internet then you solve that by getting your dependencies into Central. Which is Solution #1. What that post is missing is how to get your external jars into Central, which is documented at http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-central-repository-upload.html. This requires your dependencies by open source. It does not rely on the developers of that dependency to upload it to central. If they are being recalcitrant then you can upload it for the benefit of everyone else. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
