Far be it for me to know anything about Maven, and how the public repos work. I only know enough about Maven that I've not been motivated to use it in my work, just never been compelling to me. But Stripes has, effectively, no dependencies, especially not today. I mean, sure, it depends on Commons Logging, like every other public package on the planet. It also leverages cos.jar or Apaches file upload, which is another common, ubiquitous library. Other than those, it's a single jar. And the concept that this single jar, and that there is some bureaucratic hurdle that it must leap before it can be put in to a local repository, that's just amazing. Not to mention keeping up with the sedate release cycles of Stripes. Is that really a deal breaker? That the only official sources are these public repositories? I mean, seriously, "installing every new release manually would be a considerable mark against adoption". Omega Mike Golf! The crushing burden of keeping up with a SINGLE jar file that gets updated, what, every 6 months? Why, the paperwork alone must take weeks. That would deter me as well. I know the admins at my office have such overwhelming workloads that asking something this complicated would be met with just outright laughter and derision. Visions of this http://www.officeplayground.com/You-Want-It-When-Sign-P13.aspx sign come to mind. Or the "Brother where art thou" quote: "Why, what a geographical oddity! Two weeks from everywhere!". It's probably wise to not use Stripes at all, in that case. Best not fight such a byzantine structure.
