This is why many people have started using repository managers to isolate themselves from changing remote repositories. There's no way to know how stable the remotes are. Naturally something like jboss and the sun repos are probably not going to disappear tomorrow, but that's not to say there wouldn't be an inconvenient outage when you need it most. See here for more info: http://www.sonatype.com/book/reference/repository-manager.html (this is written using Nexus as an example, there are others) and here: (well, there's a repository manager page somewhere in maven.apache.org but after 5 minutes I can't find it).

Now, while googling i did a find a couple places where this was available, one being http://repository.jboss.com/maven2/ , now ideally i would want to use these public repository (offcourse based on their integrity) instead of having to maintain the same in our repo. So i would want to know is what are the public repositories one can rely on other than repo1. Are there any implications in using them, Also i wonder if this jar (jcip-annotations.jar) is available in repository.jboss.com, why not in repo1, whats the process to have them maintained here too.. And yes i do see this same jar under http://repo1.maven.org/maven/livetribe/maven/m2/net/jcip/jcip-annotation s/ and also in mule/dependencies/ how come they are there and under /maven2 Thanks in advance -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Usage-of-public-repositories---please-suggest-tp16 713824s177p16713824.html Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
