Hi, Thanks for clarification! This was one of the things that I never understood, for me the additional maven build was just magic :-) This powers my opinion, that the so called "maven builds" are simply another way of publishing artifacts and that's important in my opinion, as we are using the infrastructure of IVY, which relies on Maven servers to work (Robert: I know that IVY also supports downloading from arbitrary URLs, but that is missing stability and metadata).
