While not 100% required, this would make life easier for everybody involved. 
Especially developers should not be required to install the appliance and 
download the jar before being able to compile the code (I'm assuming here we 
are moving the netscaler code to the main build).

Internet downloadable is great, but publishing it in a maven repo (or even on 
central) would be completely awesome. This would mean that we can move the 
netscaler stuff to the main build and nobody would have to worry about 
obtaining the jar file and running obscure commands to get the jar into the 
repo. This would also make version management easier as new versions would be 
published in the repo and we can just update the version number in the pom.xml.

I realize that this would put some extra strain on whoever is making the 
netscaler jar files, but it would be great (so great I will happily buy anyone 
that makes this happen a beer ;-) )

Edit the pom files to remove the dependency on the nonoss flag from any 
components that depend on the netscaler.jar. This only works if maven can find 
the jar in some repository.

I'll be happy to help with setting up a repo, dealing with central or make 
modifications to the pom.xml. Let me know what I can help with.

Cheers,
