That's doable. I need to add support for a Maven repository, which I
wanted to do anyway, but as a short term solution, we can use this kind
of repository: http://repository.novaordis.org/ Something like this can
be set up in ten minutes, and it can be a placeholder until Maven
repository support is ready.

Well, that's fine in what I am concerned. I don't expect much work to go
into this. You need to clear this with your managers, though, remember
that I am not JBoss anymore ...
Nah. Just send me a patch and a list of files to upload ;-) And of course
you have to assign the copyright and so forth - I assume there's still a
contributor agreement with your name on it lying about somewhere.
The worst that could happen is that I'd apply the patch and then have to
roll it back again. A worthwhile use of a few minutes, if it helps shed
light on the topic.
