Can I commit third party jar to apache project ?

[Jeff Zhang <zj...@gmail.com>]

I am working on one ticket of apache project. And this feature requires
another third party jar but unfortunately this jar is not available in
public maven repository.  So I plan to commit this jar to the apache
project as local repository dependency. And the licence of this jar is
apache licence.  Is it alloweded to commit such third party jar to apache
project ? Thanks

+1. That route is much preferable to adding JARs to the svn repo.

Note that it's possible to upload other people's open source jars to maven 
central via OSSRH. Normally you'd ask the project in question if they'd 
mind uploading their own release via OSSRH, which they often will do with 
a bit of support. If it's abandoned or they project has no interest, you 
can build/tweak a pom and upload it for them.

There's several Apache projects which do this moderately often for open 
source libraries they want to depend on (Apache Tika being one such that I 
know of), so there's experience around to help if you need it

Jeff,

You should probably check with that project directly.
