Because when you go to the download page, you have to accept the licensing
terms. Maven doesn't have any support for forcing people to accept
licenses. One option available to us is to provide Adobe with a Maven
plug-in that will force a licensing dialog (once per machine, I suppose).
Yes, it could be a solution even if it's not really in the maven spririt,
let me understand something as I'm really noob in legal stuffs like
licenceing, spring and hibernate are widely used in the java word, mainly
via maven, the both have a licence, an apache licence for one and a gnu
lesser general public licence for the second, shouldn't force people to
accept their licence ?
Are this big companies really not using anything that doesn't have an open
license?
Yes, they do that with some artifacts but that's exeptions

A company may want to put some artifacts public without sources, that's a
common use but for what there's in Adobe SDKs, that's already public in
some
way, everyone can already download them, what would be the point to not
make
them available as well via Maven ?

Why is this not ok for big companies?
For big companies, the common rule is to accept artifacts from few quite
known public repositories only and if the artifacts are not in snapshot
version, so, very far from what we propose via the mavenizer where they
will
have to do things by hand.
I know it would be less desirable, but why can't we call the AIR SDK a build
tool? Don't folks have to download and install a JDK and Maven itself? Or
can Maven handle switching JDK versions?
