Absolutely I would not be encouraging this. I don't understand maven,
but it does work (99% of the time) and I for one would prefer you
spent your valuable time on more important things. (If it were my
decision what you spent your time on.)

Not sure that it is necessarily a bad idea since there isn't a
license or copyright issue with redistribution, as long as it doesn't
appear that Apache endorses those libraries. And we might have some
dedicated Cayenne space soon to use...
If it does end up not on Apache.org for whatever reason I'm happy to
help spread the load a bit with the three colo servers I have. Just
let me know if this is helpful.
