Any version of maven.eclipse.org without release staging means that Jetty
will not be using maven.eclipse.org for its release artifacts.

I just checked with the folks at Sonatype, and they have a standing offer
of a free license for Nexus Pro, with no strings attached, for the Eclipse
Foundation.

They have stated this in several times in various eclipse bugzilla issues,
with no apparent takers.

This is an outstanding issue with the basic maven infrastructure at eclipse
since 2009.

The Jetty project would love to use eclipse infrastructure for all things
eclipse.
Our goal is to continue our support of the larger Jetty community of Jetty
users and developers in a way that is equal to (or better) than we offered
before before we moved to Eclipse.
The maven infrastructure is critical for our success, it is not an option
anymore.

Please reconsider this offer from Sonatype for a free Nexus Pro license for
the Eclipse Foundation.


Do I have anything against Standard Nexus?  No, in fact, many of us in the
Jetty community use it for proxying remote repositories to a location local
to our house / office (helps speed up builds).  Also, the function of
release artifact staging is present at all open source maven forges
(apache, codehaus, jboss, java.net, exo, and others), this is not a special
/ rare feature, it is now pretty much a de-facto feature of a solid
bi-directional artifact repository.
