Yes, thank you! What you could help on now is getting the files in the proper Maven repository. Beware the SourceForge appears to be broken for this project ATM. I can download the Zip namen-0.11.1.zip but it is corrupted. Franz, the author, sent me the Zip and it unzips fine here. If you want to do the upload, let me know which email to send you the Zip (11MB) Gary > > - Jörg > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@commons.apache.org > For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@commons.apache.org
