-----------------------------------
bq. But you need to realize a lot of software has official releases, they just
dont care about maven.
bq. A great example of that is the noggit release. Again i've had a patch up
for a month, and I think it makes our release more clean to depend on this real
release, than to have code copied from apache labs.
I don't think Noggit is a good example. It is written by Yonik and prohibited
from releasing anything since it's part of Apache Labs, so probably noone knows
about it. If it rather had started its life as part of Lucene's source code and
later been spawned out as its own project, it would have gotten more love and
care, would have had Javadocs, some documentation etc. So having Noggit
distributed to Maven is as close as asking your colleague to publish it.
I would rather state that most Java libraries *do* care about Maven.

> Lets take the commons-csv scenario:
> * apache-solr-3.5.0 binary distribution contains no actual commons-csv.jar
> anywhere,
> in fact it contains no third party jars (the stuff present in solr/lib) at
> all.
> * binary distribution contains only the jars necessary for *solrj* and
> *contrib plugins*, and a solr.war
> I think the maven artifacts should match whats in the binary release (no
> third party jars
> inside the .war are "exposed", we just publish the .war itself). This exposes
> a lot less surface area.
