First, as discussed I think we should remove the plan to migrate plugins.netbeans.org from the incubation proposal - that migration will need to happen but it doesn't really impact the core NetBeans. As to the risks of eventually owning that service, I think Mark's suggestion to distribute the binaries via Maven Central and hosting just the metadata makes a lot of sense. I suppose that metadata does not need to be real-time and could be distributed via our existing mirror system. As you indicate, we would anyway need to help find a solution if Maven Central were to disappear so putting more stuff here does not make things worse. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
