Hi All, 
           
        I am a committer on project  Stardust and we are currently
          working on the setup of the build process for our sources. Our
          build is heavily based on Ivy and Maven, hence we need to
          consume our dependencies via maven. 
           
        For the largest part of our dependencies we already have CQs
          in “approved” state  and especially we have got approval to
          reuse quite a bit of stuff from Orbit. 
           
        Looking at the documents 
            http://wiki.eclipse.org/Common_Build_Infrastructure#Maven
          and 
            http://wiki.eclipse.org/Maven we were hoping to find
          most of what we need in the “orbit” repository on
          http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus/index.html#view-repositories
          . Furthermore, we were hoping that we could consume approved
          dependencies available from Maven central in the “central”
          repository of http://maven.eclipse.org/nexus/index.html#view-repositories
          . 
           
        Is this how the repositories are intended to be used? It
          seems that currently the orbit repository is empty and the
          “central” repository does not provide most of what we need.
          What would be the process to get approved Orbit and “central”
          dependencies made available via the nexus repository? 
           
        As a side-note: It appears that we can get some of our
          requested dependencies only approved as Subsets by removing
          problematic content. ? If modifications to the original
          dependency are mandated for legal reasons, we will need a
          dedicated repository to hold the modified artifacts. I assume
          in these cases a good approach might be to contribute them to
          orbit where possible and then consume them via the Nexus
          repository? 
           
        Thanks for any help on how to proceed. 
           
           
        Regards 
           
           
        Herbert
