Thanks for your interest in Orbit. As you may know, the current
Maven repo content was put together by someone (not sure who) completely
independent of the Eclipse team. We had no input on how it was structured or
what was put there.
To your specific question, there are currently no plans to
create or maintain a Maven repository at eclipse.org. We will be creating and
hosting a p2 repository however. My understanding is that Maven has an extensible
repository structure such that it could be extended to read other repository
layouts. Perhaps if there were a p2 repo plugin for Maven then Maven users
could point directly at the eclipse.org repositories.
In the mean time however, it seems like the best path is for the
Maven user community to agree on the format for bundles in Maven repos and then
populate the standard Maven repo with the upcoming Ganymede release.

Dear Orbit developers,
I had this discussion with the OPS4J community.
We're having difficulty getting Equinox-related artifacts using Maven... which
now our current approach is to host them (Equinox artifacts) within OPS4J Maven
repository.
The current Equinox artifacts at maven central are outdated and also having
inconsistent JAR versioning/naming (versus the ones in eclipse.org/orbit).
We're looking forward to having "official" Equinox maven artifacts
hosted on Maven central or perhaps if Orbit also has a Maven repository. Even
better if Eclipse maven artifacts can also be there too. Thank you.

Yes, true,
who is taking contact? If you want to put some force behind this, go
ahead, it would be great to have a good repo to build against!
