The ability to handle code we cannot distribute is obviously important for Maven and Apache in generfal, but it's a complete snake pit. Maven _should_ quit when it cannot download jdbc.jar et al and it should print a message saying: Please download this file from <url in POM> and place the file in <location of file>. > I don't think any of the jelly developers are happy with the current state > of play. If you'd like to help us fix it up, feel free. Aarrgh. Understand the customer :) One of the worst open source things is our habit of suggesting that disgruntled users send us a fix for the problem :) John, just by reporting this problem, with far more gusto than the average user, you've done Maven a valuable service. Maven is tightly coupled to Jelly and as is the case in such examples, you live by the reputation of your strategic allies. I remember there used to be a non-distribuable.list or something. Is this still a part of Maven? Does it work as I've suggested above?
