I was looking in the maven2 subdirectory - is maven2 smart enough
to search both maven2 and maven1 repositories?
AFAIK, since the Maven1 ibiblio.org repository came first, the Maven2 ibiblio.org repository started out by syncing from the Maven1 repository, but into the new repository directory and filename layout for Maven2. Sometimes, JARs would be uploaded to the Maven2 repository and never exposed via the Maven1 repository.
Lately, the Maven1 repository has been removed as a separately maintained entity, and instead there are URL rewrites going on to expose the Maven2 repository as though it were in the Maven1 layout.
This URL rewriting eliminates the inconsistencies between the logical contents of the Maven1 and Maven2 central repositories on ibiblio.org.
Separately from that, Maven2 can consume dependencies from any Maven1 repository, if that repository is defined in (pom.xml or settings.xml) to have "legacy" layout.
Kind Regards,
John Fallows.
