Hello Miike About point 2:
You would need to manually add (mvn install:install-file) a dependency when they cannot be found in ibiblio. In the example that you gave, that jar along others from Sun (like Transaction, and Mail) it wouldn't be found in ibiblio thanks to licensing issues about the distribution of the jar, it cannot be added to ibiblio thus you have to manually go and download the jar from Sun and install it.

Is there any safeguards as to who can download these projects (i.e. what security is in place, for example if someone knows or guesses your artifactId)? 2) Why would we initate the following command below, if we get all the plugin components initally when we download any goal the first time? mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=javax.activation -DartifactId=activation -Dversion=1.0.2 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=/ Thanks. ---------------------------------------------- Miike Tedesco ---------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
