RE: [Repast-developer] Maven, Repast Development and Ibibilio

[Jason W. <jwo...@hb...>]

Mark,

Tom and I started going down this path last fall; James Macgill also
offered us an introduction to the Ibiblio folks, since he has a
repository there for GeoTools.

They seemed quite strict about ensuring that all jars are properly
licensed for redistribution.  I was in the middle of verifying this
when I got distracted by my dissertation.  (The issue was complicated
by the fact that some of the jars distributed with RePast originate
with Sun and either don't contain licenses or contain licenses without
explicit redistribution clauses.)

I'd be happy to pick this up again if there's interest.  Be warned,
though, that getting into compliance might require moving to later
versions of jars or refactoring to eliminate dependencies.

(This would also reopen the question of whether it makes sense to move
to a Mavenized build process.  As you remember, it was still pretty
bloody when we experimented with it in the fall, but possibily the
benefits would outweigh the costs.)
