Hi, I'm working on a Maven wrapper for JavaFX (yea, Java, sorry). The JavaFX toolset currently calls out to WiX to build native windows installers for Java desktop apps.
I want to simplify this by having the Maven plugin automatically download and unzip WiX so the developer doesn't have to. To do this I need to take the public WiX binary (zip file) and put it into the central Maven repository (basically a big web storage server where third party libraries/tools can be downloaded from). Does anyone know of any reason why I couldn't put the WiX zip in this public Maven repository? It would still be under the same licence it is under now, and the Maven repository is all open and free, etc. By the way, I am aware that there is an existing Maven plugin for WiX ( https://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=29234516), however from what I can see it assumes the developer has already installed WiX and does not install it for them. This other Maven plugin may actually benefit from having this zip in the central repository too.
