This is a losing battle. If you can't lock down other people's stuff
(and you cant), and you wont ever purge the repository of invalid
external links, then gradually, over time, the quality of the
repository is going to decline.

On this topic, if I were to create my own, personal javaee entry in a
private repo, where should it go?

1) javax/javaee/javaee/5.0
2) javax/ejb/javaee/5.0
3) javax/j2ee/j2ee/1,5?

technically, (3) is more accurate, as there already is a 1.4 pom...
