Hi all, I wanted to send a note that Infra has seen a couple requests from podlings to publish under third-party Maven groupId coordinates (com.alibaba and org.netbeans). Unless/until the Foundation owns these domains, we cannot allow publishing under those coordinates.
Needless to say, we'll never own alibaba.com :p ... Maybe one day, we'll get netbeans.org (what is the status on that?) ... But we cannot publish convenience binaries to Maven Central before such time. And please note that I said "convenience binaries". This is an important point for the two podlings: the Foundation makes source code releases. Period. Full stop. Both podlings can do that today -- there is nothing inhibiting making such releases. ... What *cannot* be done is publishing convenience binaries to those third-party coordinates. The podlings will be able to publish under org.apache, of course. The restriction merely applies to any compatibility/historical shims that are retained, to map the old-named packages over to new org.apache naming.
