Got fed up of legal issues just to use some icons... I'm gonna give a try to the icons in the Tango project [1], they even upload their icons to the maven repository [2] and they can be used under a CC license.

Well, in this case I am not sure; you may have to get to the bottom of the exact license rules for your case. What I can tell you is that there are several other open source projects that had 'similar' problems and they could not include certain artifacts. They had to make a note that those missing jars had to be downloaded manually by users of the open-source project. (This has been partly solved now by Sun as they have created their own public maven repo for these artifacts.) -dh -----Original Message----- From: José González Gómez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, October 05, 2006 6:50 AM To: Maven Users List Subject: Re: [OT?] Including Java Look&Feel Graphics Repository The problem is that this is not an internal project, this is a project published on sourceforge, so I should provide poms that can be used anywhere, not just in our local network, and provide an easy way to get all the missing dependencies not located at ibiblio. How is people handling this? Am I missing anything?
