Tony, The plugin is not yet at central. In the future, it's much better if you wait announcing until it's actually there. Announcing too early could cause problems for organizations with proxies if the users try retrieving the artifact too soon, as it will be added to the not-found-cache. By default, that cache will not expire until after 24 hours. (This is the default Nexus behavior.)
I've run into this myself at least once where I had to go into a long discussion with a user trying to explain why this is not Maven's fault. /Anders On Mon, Sep 19, 2011 at 10:24, Tony Chemit <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > The Mojo team is pleased to announce the release of the > webstart-maven-plugin version 1.0-beta-2. > > The Webstart Maven Plugin generates application bundles that can be > deployed via Web Start.
