I would think that you'd need whatever protocol Maven uses to actually put files on the repository. I guess the Maven protocol is simpler than I thought and simply uses webdav authentication and the mvn file::deploy simply calculates the URL for you. That's good to know. That means you can replace all of Maven with some fairly simple shell scripts using curl. Then in a non-Java project, all the Maven repositories do is provide a nice interface for searching and administration of a HTTP based repository. -- David Weintraub qazw...@gmail.com
