Hey Mickael,

Thanks for the response.

I wasn't even thinking of using an approach like this.  This would cause problems for developers building locally, as it would require them to build the Guvnor plugins locally as well.

This was the point of my question.  So: Does such a repository exist? If so, where does it live?

If a repository does not already exist, I'll simply wait until a Guvnor 5.4 release is available from the nightly SOA repo.

Thanks again,
