Depending on your needs for using exact upstream (meaning Apache) version or not you *might* have luck trying to use Fedora binary rpms on your CentOS machine. I haven't tried this, but with a 1 or 2 rebuilds it might work. You'd have to create your own rpm repo for this probably and do a few tweaks here and there. Biggest issue would probably be that some of our current binary rpms in F17 and rawhide are built using OpenJDK 7 with target set to 1.7 so you won't be able to use them with 1.6 VM. We do have 3.0.4 currently and quite a few plugins, but if you go this way I'd suggest to ask questions on <java-devel at lists.fedoraproject.org>. -- Stanislav Ochotnicky <sochotni...@redhat.com> Software Engineer - Base Operating Systems Brno PGP: 7B087241 Red Hat Inc. http://cz.redhat.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@maven.apache.org
