It's not something we want. If you want to let people use the existing structure then just write to move stuff from the dist structure to a maven repository structure. On a daily basic you could nuke the copied structure so the size wouldn't build to an unmanageable size. Then you can keep your dist structure and just flush new artifacts to ibiblio. > repository/**/ > project/ > jars/ > distribution/ > > Is it plausible that a project could actually organize where its > "distribution" and "jars" directories were actually located? No. It's not that complicated.

If you want to have it work with Maven then even a temporary structure would work for syncing. All you really want is to move new artifacts to the repository. There is no reason why the existing apache layout for the dist directories can't be maintained as well as shuffling them about to conform to what Maven needs so that a directory can be flushed to ibiblio. > -Mark > > > > Jason van Zyl wrote: > > > On Fri, 2004-01-16 at 11:03, Mark R.
