Hi I don't see any problem with this approach, that's providing an SMX OSGi wrapper on central for this artifact. We already do this as well for a bunch of other 3rd-party libs like QuickFix/J. And if in the future they would "osgi-fy" their artifact but don't want to come over to the Apache central-repo, then we could still grab their bundle from their own repo as we do this already today for example for camel-restlet. > >So IMHO we have a solution to this issue. > > >2) >Splunk server is not open source.
