You need to establish what your groups id will be. The current naming trend for Apache "xml" projects has been a bit haphazard.

Some standardization here would be good. But that will not effect maven.

i've had a chat on IRC and gone for apache-jaxme

There is currently a problem with Maven publishing to a BSD system and md5 signature generation, if you do not want to use maven to do the publishing then these are the tasks you need to complete:

1.) The easiest way right now is for you to place the jars into

java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/...

gone (but apache-jaxme rather than xml-jaxme)

2.) Generate an md5 signature for each one in the same directory. For instance as an examples

"md5 xml-jaxme-1.0.jar > xml-jaxme-1.0.jar.md5" will produce:

java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/xml-jaxme-1.0.jar
java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/xml-jaxme-1.0.jar.md5

done

3.) Generate the following symlinks the above files from

java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/xml-jaxme-SNAPSHOT.jar
java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/xml-jaxme-SNAPSHOT.jar.md5

done

4.) and create a file

java-repository/xml-jaxme/jars/xml-jaxme-snapshot-version with the contents "1.0"

these releases are versioned 0.2: should this file contain 0.2 (since it refers to the version of the jars) or 1.0 (since it's a mavenesque version number)

It would be wise, so yes, apache-jaxme-0.2.jar

5.) use the following "POM" in the

java-repository/xml-jaxme/poms/project/pom
<project>
  <pomVersion>3</pomVersion>
  <id>xml-jaxme</id>
  <name>xml-jaxme</name>
  <currentVersion>1.0</currentVersion>
  <organization>
    <name>Apache Software Foundation</name>
    <url>www.apache.org</url>
  </organization>
  <licenses>
    <license>
      <name>ASL 2.0</name>
      <url>???????</url>
      <comments>???????</comments>
    </license>
  </licenses>
</project>

there are a number of jar in the release. i'd been working on the theory that each needs a separate artifact id. what should the contents of the file be in this case?

Yes, it should look like:

/java-repository/apache-jaxme/jars/<artifact>-<version>.jar

/java-repository/apache-jaxme/poms/project/pom

<project>
   <pomVersion>3</pomVersion>
   <groupId>apache-jaxme</groupId>
   <name>Apache Jaxme</name>
   <currentVersion>0.2</currentVersion>
   <organization>
     <name>Apache Software Foundation</name>
     <url>www.apache.org</url>
   </organization>
   <licenses>
     <license>
       <name>ASL 2.0</name>
       <url>http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0</url>
     </license>
   </licenses>
 </project>

sound good, I'll take a look in the directory and verify all looks well.
