Re: [eclipselink-users] Eclipselink Maven repository

FYI: There has been discussion about moving our Maven Repo to the Eclipse foundation's Nexus Repo. 'not sure that would happen if it did.

One thing I noticed is that although this link constantly results in a 404, any
URL beneath this root that actually resolves to a jar file or a pom file does work.

So basically you can't see what's in the repository, but if you build the proper
URL (as of course Maven does) it will resolve to a jar file.

This of course wreaks havoc on any Nexus or Artifactory repository you may have
that proxies the EclipseLink repository, as it will conclude that EclipseLink's
repo is out of service even though strictly speaking it is not.  The solution is
to turn off any automatic checking of the repository and/or automated blocking
of it.

I don't mean to throw stones here but it would really help a lot of us out if
EclipseLink could either publish its stuff to Maven central or at least put it
up at oss.sonatype.org <http://oss.sonatype.org> or have it proxied by
oss.sonatype.org <http://oss.sonatype.org>.

Best,
Laird
