[JWebUnit-development] Hosting JWebUnit on Sonatype Nexus instance

[Julien H. <he...@ya...>]

Hi,

I've started the process to have JWebUnit artifacts hosted on Sonatype OSS Nexus instance (https://docs.sonatype.com/display/NX/OSS+Repository+Hosting). The issue is created (https://issues.sonatype.org/browse/OSSRH-384) but there is a remaining issue.

JWebUnit is not compliant with Maven central rules. Indeed central rule is to have a self contained repository with no external dependency. The JWebUnit Selenium plugin doesn't comply with this rule as we have a dependency on Selenium artifacts that are not hosted on central.

As selenium plugin is not the master piece of JWebUnit (is there anybody using it at all?) I have suggested to no more sync this module to central. Users that want to use it will have to manually add the Sonatype repository in their pom (http://oss.sonatype.org/content/groups/public/). I don't know if this is possible but do you agree with this solution?

I have also asked Selenium guys to sync to central but there is little hope they agree.

Regards,

Julien
