I believe the repository (or plural) needs artefacts beyond what Java projects provide. I believe it was intended to contain all apache content, and not just Maven built artefacts. Maven's is a nice tight use case, and very valuable for that, but it is only one. Ant is another possible umbrella, and perhaps one with better coverage. At the end of the day the commonality is the repository, the specification, and tools for manipulating content. I believe this is sufficiently important to the whole community to warrant it's own project. regards, Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
