Sorry if I'm missing something but why they can't just publish everything to their private repo and just mirror things
they want share to the public repository afterwards?

This was my initial response too.


As being Maven user (I'm from Apache Cocoon) I support Jason's opinion here. If you have very specific requirements that could be fulfilled by existing tools (few lines of script) just use them and don't pollute other tools with your
specific needs.

This solution is easier for the end user than having to write syncs with includes/excludes themselves. It all gets done in one hit.

I'm not fan of featuritis, but it sounded like a valid use case, and since it gives the same net effect and doesn't affect any backwards compatibility I thought it was worth going ahead with.


I don't think applying them is a good idea. Any separation of the primary and secondary artifacts will cause a problem and I don't see any value in doing so, it makes tooling harder and will only cause confusion. So for me it's a -1.

Cheers,
Brett
