I don't know the background of this policy, but to me it seems that including "incubating" (or something like that) in the artifact version number is much more visible to a user than the repository where the artifact resides. Usually a project that uses a non-standard repository address has the address of that repository stored within the project configuration so Maven will automatically download the required artifacts with no user intervention. And after the artifact has once been downloaded, the repository location is never used again, i.e. an incubating artifact will look just like one downloaded from a standard repository. On the other hand, if the incubation status is indicated in the artifact name, it will remain visible in IDE project settings, runtime classpaths, deployed webapps, etc. BR, Jukka Zitting -- Yukatan - http://yukatan.fi/ - info@yukatan.fi Software craftsmanship, JCR consulting, and Java development --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscribe@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-help@incubator.apache.org
