These people have some bad thinking. There is simply no point putting guaranteed static objects into VCS, which is all about tracking changes. And since the POM defines all the dependencies and how they are used, and everything required for a build, then that mechanism is already ideal. If they are concerned about losing some artifacts, then they simply need to back them up, or provide some clustering. All you need to do is keep a mirrored server of your repo. > only thing i could think was to store the maven repository in > svn and check it out every time, pointing maven to look at > the localRepository in my custom directory This is a "solution", but one to a problem that doesn't exist. Absurd. > anyone has any suggestions/comments? Looks like some people need some education, unless of course they have a very good reason for their position?
