[Discussion] Allocating a maven repository for OFBiz plugins

[taher]

Hello Everyone,

The last piece of the puzzle to complete the plugin system for OFBiz is to
have a maven repository to which we can publish the released plugins.

I'm not sure what is the best approach to proceed and so opening this
thread for ideas. I think due to legal concerns we cannot publish on
JCenter.

So the question now is how, and where to create this repository? Should we
utilize some ASF existing repository? Create a new one? If create a new
one, which engine to use?

Appreciate your input and thoughts.

Cheers,

Taher Alkhateeb

Hi Taher,

I think we should use the ASF existing repository. JCenter, central maven repository and others have proxy/cache to ASF repository.

Cheers,

Shi Jinghai

Hello Shi,

Which one is that? Where is it located? Who should we contact or what
should we do to request a repository?

Regards,

Hi Taher, Jinghai,

See https://www.apache.org/dev/repository-faq.html and especially bottom links

BTW unrelated, but I was curious some times ago: https://s.apache.org/JnrV

Thank you Jacques, this is exactly what I was looking for!

So what I understand is that we need to follow the instructions in [1].
However, this seems to be complicated because we will not publish POMs, but
create plugins on the fly using Gradle. I think I might ask a few questions
to INFRA on hipchat just to be sure of what I'm doing.
