> Hi All!
> The Maven repository is getting bigger and bigger and I think there must be some restrictions when adding components (read jars, wars,ears etc) to it. I tried to make a mirror via rsync and got a lot of example wars, example jars etc. Why are there war-files in the Maven repo at all? Why does Geronimo have all their jar files in the global maven repository? Wouldn't it be better to have a spearate repo for non-util products like Apache Tomcat, Apache Geronimo, JBoss, etc., etc.
> I agree to the fact that the repository shall contain most of the components you might need in your development but I don't need war files, I dont need example files and most probably I don't need app server jar files. What I need is software components from the repo - not fully functional programs that I can download from resp. vendor page. These fully functional program files are taking up so much HD space and is probably a huge reason why a rsync process will conatin synciong for hours.
> So my question is - is there a job to be done here or am I just wrong (crazy) in my opinion above?
> Kind regards
> Oskar Carlstedt
