Why don't you get them to use something more standard so that you
can use what everyone else is using.
Because, for sourceforge hosted projects
1) you don't have the allowance to host the binaries (jars of
others) inside the sourceforge web hosting area. So the idea of
having a maven repo inside your project.sf.net/ is no go
Fine, let's create one for you at Contegix that you guys can use.
2) To get artifact hosted on maven2 official repo, you need to
either have your own repo (which is impossible on sourceforge) or
ask for manual installation of package (4 weeks delay!)
Lots of sourceforge projects have direct syncs with the maven2
repository. They get synced every 4 hours.
3) The process of releasing one or several file for sourceforge
implies: Uploading to an anonymous ftp server, login to your
project, eventually create package and release, select amongst the
list of files currently in the ftp server which one concerns you,
select various informations about that file and then confirm you
want to release it. Considering my experience, it takes about 30
minutes per file to do manually. In the past (maven1) i have found
the maven release plugin very useful for this and it's the primary
aim of this wagon. This wagon is able to also download, but it's not
it's primary objective.
Then just avoid and we can do 1) or 2) for you guys.

Our achievements speak for themselves. What we have to keep track
of are our failures, discouragements and doubts. We tend to forget
the past difficulties, the many false starts, and the painful
groping. We see our past achievements as the end result of a
clean forward thrust, and our present difficulties as
signs of decline and decay.
