It does, but at least I prefer to have them in Gump's part of the svn repo (which all ASF committers have write access to). Historically some projects wanted to use the Gump descriptor during their own builds (Cocoon and Excalibur). Unfortunately they frequently broke the descriptor and it was in a place where nobody who cared (me) could fix them. > I thought they all had to be in the gump/metadata/project directory. Not technically. The location of the descriptor in the profile and workspace is an URL, it just happens to be a relative one for most if not all descriptors.
