Lincoln, I'm about to activate the sync for org.jboss.forge. My validation scripts didn't turn up anything that would stop the artifacts from going to Central. We do have one script that scans for external repo references across POMs, and that script found the following URLs in <repository> and <pluginRepository> elements: http://download.eclipse.org/jgit/maven http://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/groups/public http://snapshots.repository.codehaus.org/ https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/ https://repository.sonatype.org/ Central used to have a hard requirement around artifact POMs being free of external repository references: http://www.sonatype.com/people/2010/03/why-external-repos-are-being-phase... Like I said, Central used to have that requirement, so your artifacts are fine. Still, I like to send around the link given that there are still some valid points in it. The regularly scheduled sync to Central from JBoss runs every 4 hours, so you can verify that your artifacts have appeared at that time.
