Hi Michael, I _completely_ understand and I have no desire to break what already works. I'll definitely try to go with the manual upload process to begin with and might then add a patch for a Maven build that can run side by side with your ANT build in order to make future releases easier.
I'm hopefully also doing this for the Jsch project, so it's all good practice :) Cheers, Martijn On Thu, Dec 9, 2010 at 6:50 PM, Michael Glavassevich <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi Martijn, > > Xerces existed long before Maven.
