-------------------------------------------

Hi Brian, and thanks for your feedback.

I'll try to explain better: afaik, the ../dist/java-repository/ is special - in 
addition to regular mirroring, it is rsynced every 4 hours to the Apache Maven 
Repository at ibiblio:
http://ibiblio.org/maven/xalan/jars/

For those of us who use Maven as the build tool for our projects, Maven 
automatically downloads all needed jars from this repository. (The Maven 
repository includes LGPLed software, that is why it is not hosted by ASF, but 
ASF projects can make sure their releases are available through Maven by 
putting the jar in java-repository. Non-ASF-projects has a more cumbersome 
process for uploading their jars to ibiblio.)

This is, i believe, the reason why the jar must be published two places on the 
server.

regards,
-j�rgen

Note: I haven't found too much documentation about this, but the following 
pointers may be of help:

You may also note step 12 in the Commons release notes:

And step 1 and 2 of this article is helpful:

It seems to me that [EMAIL PROTECTED] is in charge of this:
