Description Laird Nelson

I've noticed that all the usual mirrors of the EclipseLink Maven repository no
longer work.  I suspect this is because the "real" EclipseLink Maven repository
does not seem to permit directory listings (unlike other Maven repositories
hosted by other organizations).  I'm guessing that all the mirrors conclude that
there's nothing beneath the root?

By "real" EclipseLink Maven Repository I mean this:
http://download.eclipse.org/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo/ (note that this, when
loaded in your browser, gives a 404 error, though URLs like
http://download.eclipse.org/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo/org/eclipse/persistence/javax.persistence/2.0.3/javax.persistence-2.0.3.jar
correctly resolve).

By "mirror", I mean places like this (to take one arbitrary example that used to
work reliably and has now stopped working):
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/eclipse/rt/eclipselink/maven.repo/

No other Maven repository that I know of functions like this (i.e. does not
permit directory listings and/or does not provide an index).  It would be a
great service I think to the EclipseLink user community if either (a) directory
listings could be restored or, preferably, (b) EclipseLink could get its artifacts hosted somewhere else (like oss.sonatype.org <http://oss.sonatype.org> or Maven central).

The EclipseLink Repository also no longer works properly in the Apache Aries build. This means we've had to disable any projects that build against EclipseLink.

We would really appreciate it if the repository were back up and running ASAP, or if that's not possible, for released versions of EclipseLink to be put into Maven central.

There are 2 parallel efforts going on right now.

1. The Eclipse Foundation is rebooting its effort to setup a nexus instance at maven.eclipse.org which will hopefully be treated as a Maven forge allowing all projects to publish maven artifacts and also have their releases pushed into Maven central.

2. the EclipseLink project is getting setup on oss.sonatype.org as a temporary replacement for our make shift repo. This will allow us to push through to maven central as well.

The Eclipselink project has moved to Github: https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/eclipselink
