Coping with SUN JARs
Often users are confronted with the need to build against JARs provide by
SUN like the {{{http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/}JavaMail}} JAR, or the
{{{http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html}Activation}} JAR
and users have found these JARs not present in central repository resulting
in a broken build. Unfortunately most of these artifacts fall under Sun's
Binary License which disallows us from distributing them from Ibiblio.
Another problem is that Sun's appears not to have any sort of convention
for naming their own JARs so we have taken steps in suggesting some common
names for Sun's artifacts. You can find a list of our suggestions here:
~~ Incorporate this document here. jvz.
http://maven.apache.org/reference/standard-sun-jar-names.html
When you add a Sun dependency to your POM if you use the our suggestions
as noted above then Maven 2.x can help you locate the JARs by providing
the site where they can be retrieved. It is important that you follow
the suggested naming conventions as even though we cannot store the
JARs at Ibiblio we can store metadata about those JARs and it is the
metadata that contains location and retrieval information.
