As I mentioned, this would apply for non-ASF projects using the other Maven repositories as well if Eclipse was able to use this repository layout to retrieve them. It should also be possible for projects using Maven to publish their Eclipse plugins along with their main distributions at release time, if Maven develops a way to construct them and store the necessary information in the proejct's one source code repository. I imagine this is a pretty simple task, but it's something to think about when projects start to take this up. Cheers, Brett
