Has this sufficed in the past? What are the options?
IIRC one of the reasons we can't distribute the older Sun jars is because of their click-through license. So no, if that's a requirement, just putting a url to the license in the pom isn't sufficient. There was some talk of implementing a click-through for the Maven repo, but I don't think it ever happened. In that particular case, Sun changed the license on the newer binaries. -- Wendy --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@maven.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@maven.apache.org
