It doesn't. > These are needed for several components, e.g. > Collections and NET currently. I think we only need to show the latest version - there are links to browse the archive for older versions. > Also potentially for any component that releases a non-final (e.g. > BETA) release. Doesn't happen that often - can only think of BeanUtils in the last few years and a link could be put on the home page to the download area for betas. Besides being better as part of the component sites and easier to maintain - one of the other motivations for the plugin generated one was so that if/when we get rid of the m1 build for the main site, we had an alternative mechanism for generating download pages. m1 is becoming a problematic since people don't use it and it doesn't work on JDK 1.6 for me. I think we should get a working m2 site for commons and switch to these new download pages.
