Sun's jars, ibiblio and java.net repository: status?
A few months back I read something that Sun's jars (activation,
javamail, jca, netbeans libs, ...) etc might end up on ibiblio.
Still most of them aren't there yet.
However there is a maven1 java.net repository with a lot of jars
auto-downloadable available at
https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository/
including for example the activation jar:
https://maven-repository.dev.java.net/nonav/repository/jaxb/jars/activation-1.0.2.jar
(with a wrong groupId)
Is there any news on this matter?

With kind regards,

There's a jira issue for that "provides" thing

I could give you my word as a Spaniard.
No good. I've known too many Spaniards.

I have no idea if this is happening or not. Related to that, I have
been wondering for a while if there's some sort of 'Provides' tag (as
in the Debian package management system) to identify a library that
fulfill a particular dependency. Differing libraries could provide for
the same dependency.
Someone depending on javamail just for compilation purposes shouldn't
care if the lib that will be used by maven is Sun's official (taken
from an internal corporate repos), geronimo's one, GNU classpath
one....
Obviously that only works well when there's a centralized definition
of dependencies, but that's a role the ibiblio uploaders could have.

Have you taken a look at
http://www.ibiblio.org/maven2/org/apache/geronimo/specs/? You might
find a few there.

That's useful. Didn't know about the repo.
