[ee4j-pmc] Deploying snapshots to the Eclipse Maven repo

[Christian Kaltepoth <christian@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear PMC,

the JAX-RS API project just configured the Jenkins instance to automatically deploy snapshots to the Eclipse Snapshot repository. See #634 and #637 for details.

After the first deployment it was mentioned that releasing snapshots may be problematic, because the Contribution Agreement between Oracle and the Eclipse Foundation hasn't been signed yet.

To be honest, I'm quite surprised that this may be an issue. Especially because there were some initial discussion about snapshot deployment on the various mailing lists and nobody mentioned that this may be an issue.

Therefore, I would kindly ask the PMC to share some details about the current legal situation and whether deployment of snapshots may be an issue.

Best regards

Christian
