Another reasonable question is why does Oracle not simply set up a Maven repo to host their files, like JBoss and Sun etc have already done? Or even better, why doesn't someone from Oracle contact the Maven dev team and ask them to pretty please, with sugar on top, host these files so our customers will receive this great benefit with very little effort on the part of Oracle?

Oracle simply requires an agreement to distribute the jars (or put on a public repository). I am wondering why Apache Maven VIP's could not sign the agreement and distribute them from the repo1 repository. Any idea who I could be put in touch with to do this? I have copies of the documents and contacts on the way to help get this in the queue. These are widely used jars and would save a lot of people a lot of time. thanks Si'mon Wayne Fay wrote: > > If you plan to distribute Oracle's proprietary jars etc, make sure you > have the proper licensing etc necessary to do so. > > (These issues are exactly why these jars are not already available in > the Maven repo.) > > Wayne > > On 5/31/07, Wendy Smoak <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> On 5/31/07, SiSi'mon <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> > >> > Yes, we have already done this (downloaded an put in local repository) >> and >> > internally we are doing this in development.
