There is a ticket for the 2.8.0 POM issue (I would send the link to it but
JIRA seems to be down so don't know the ticket off the top of my head).

The binary releases are only done using 2.8.0 but that really shouldn't
matter since that is just the broker and your producers and consumers are
communicating over the wire protocol using TCP/IP to it (so you can run
whatever client you want with whatever language available and version of
the language).  There have been talks about changing (using another Scala
version to build the broker) but this will be more of a consensus for
operating the broker in production with that Scala version and having
confidence around that from use.

I haven't looked into the 2.8.0 POM issue yet myself it could be code
related or even part of the publishing process that bonked at some point
(it happens).

Have you tried doing a publish-local to see if that works?

I was honestly not aware folks still used 2.8.0 and there have been talks
about discontinuing that.

Why do you need the 2.8.0 client jar but a 2.10 broker?

Lastly if it becomes such a big issue for the community and a fix is
required before we can get trunk released we could always role 0.8.1 from
branch and make the trunk 0.8.2 however we should go through some due
diligence since 0.8.1 is not really that far off and the trade off may not
make sense.
