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 ...
