Publishing to Central makes the release perpetual. So EA2 after EA is not predictable. If you insist on this idea, I would use EA-01, EA-02, EA-03, etc. Let's design things out well and avoid being haphazard. > You can download EAP build of IntellijIdea, although Idea 14 is available > now for more than 1 year already. > You know for a fact that IntelliJ's EAPs are removed once they are no longer relevant. Because they own their file server and can remove them whenever they want. That's why only 15 EAP and 14.1 EAP are available. Haven't you thought why 13 EAP, 12 EAP, etc. are no longer available? > Btw, here is one more example of keeping EA versions in repo - > http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.jersey/jersey-client > You are talking about releases from 2012 and older. Haven't you realised why they stopped doing that? Please don't bend reality to make it fit your arguments. Hibernate seems to keep all versions in maven - > http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.hibernate/hibernate-core > Yes, and they publish Betas, Service Packs, Release Candidates, etc. They have a complex, pragmatic and well-defined lifecycle. We are just talking about EAs in a very particular situation. It's going to be extremely random to look back and see: Ignite 1.2.0 Ignite 1.3.0 Ignite 1.4.0 Ignite 1.5.0-EA Ignite 1.5.0 Ignite 1.6.0 If we want to define a full lifecycle with public milestones, I'm all up for it. It does create lots of complexity and release work, though. But publishing an EA to Central just because in this particular release we changed something big, to me it's a NO-NO. > Personally I do not insist on releasing this in maven, but I don't think > this is anything extraordinary. > > Guys, any more opinions? > I would like to hear the opinions of people outside of GG. @Cos, @Brane? And please Yakov, let's respect the community and don't take decisions by ourself without consensus and without giving people the opportunity to speak their mind. *Raúl Kripalani* PMC & Committer @ Apache Ignite, Apache Camel | Integration, Big Data and Messaging Engineer http://about.me/raulkripalani | http://www.linkedin.com/in/raulkripalani http://blog.raulkr.net | twitter: @raulvk
