POM serve as "metadata" in this case, so, I'd rather say Central enforces quality of "metadata" (ie. POM properly "filled in", using proper and proven/owned groupId, sane artifactId, etc, minimal set of fields are given, file signatures, checksums are present, no update of already deployed stuff happens [ie. your deploy request would overwrite something in Cenral] etc). Still, you can deploy a jar full of zeroes to Central if you wish, all until you use proper GA, the checksums and signatures matches, and POM fulfills minimal requirements :) My 5 cents --047d7b3a81cec6808604ef4cfd81--
