    Hi Andrus,

    WebObjects libs and Sun's jars have similar problems. We have to
    manually download the jars and install into local repository.
    Furthermore, these kinds of jars don't have any naming conventions.

    As you and Ulrich said, we could create a plug-in or a goal on woproject
    plug-in (woproject:bootstrap or woproject:prepare) that install these WO
    jars into local repository or deploy to a remote repository.

    In first place, however, I think we must define the naming conventions
    for WO jars. For example:

    GroupId: webobjects.apple
    ArtifactId: java-wo-extensions
    Version: 5.2.4
    JAR name: java-wo-extensions-5.2.4.jar

    We could implement a routine that search for
    NEXT_ROOT/Library/WebObjects/lib, copy all jars to a temporary folder
    with the new name (i.e. JavaWOExtensions.jar into
    java-wo-extensions-${woversion}.jar) and call mvn install:install-file
    to put these jars into local repository.

    Hope this helps.

    Cheers,
