True. That's exactly my point. We need an Apache repository and a set of tools to be used in apache - and this should work for all projects and build tools that are in apache. We need a standard layout and descriptors for dependencies - but this needs to be agreed on by all involved. If maven scope is to create a build tool - that's perfect. If maven scope is both a build tool and an apache repository and non-apache repository and defining standards for other build tools - that's not good. Probably it would be a good idea if someone with experience in a standard process would get involved in the repository and descriptors- Geir or Craig would be great ideas ( I know many have issues with the JCP - but the fact remains that setting any standard is different than writing code ).
