What good is it to publish such poms in the public Maven repositories, if
you cannot post the actual jar files they refer to? And, it seems unlikely
to me that you have the legal right to publish all of the jars referenced in
your follow-up list.
Standarization, you may need to install by hand the jar, but everybody
can use the same groupId and artifactId. The point is try to avoid the
chaos that happened before with Sun jars when people using 5+ names to
refer to the same thing.
We are not going to publish the jars, I didn't get what do you mean
about legal rights.
The right solution is to encourage the vendors of the stuff you need to
publish their own software, with the group and artifact ids that *they*
choose. Trying to publish someone else's work, under an identifier that
*you* choose, strikes me as an attempt at plagarism.
that'd be great, if there's any chance that they'll do that I will
hold and let them propose. We do that with Sun people given that they
are already involved.
I don't think we should publish poms for all commercial software in
the world, but if maven users request them and are willing to provide
poms with information and dependencies, we shouldn't stop them either

No good. I've known too many Spaniards.
