Hello,
The WOProject and the Wonder teams are pleased to announce the new Maven
repository for WebObjects developers.
The WOCommunity Maven Repository is a place to host all the WOProject
Maven plug-ins + Wonder libraries. You can browse and search for
artifacts through the nice Nexus interface by accessing [1]. You should
update your settings.xml to reflect the change. Attached is an example
of how the configuration should look.
If you already use Maven, now you don't need to download the Wonder
source and build with Maven to get the required dependencies into your
local repository. You can declare Wonder SNAPSHOT dependencies in the
project's pom.xml and run Maven with the -U option to automatically
download the latest SNAPSHOT build. Wonder SNAPSHOTs will be deployed to
WOCommunity repository as soon as a change is committed into the SVN
repository.
If you need to make a release of your project, Maven will require fixed
versions (non SNAPSHOT) for your dependencies. The new repository also
contains releases of Wonder, starting with 5.0.0-r9050. 'r9050' is the
SVN revision used to make the Wonder release. Wonder releases will be
made periodically (biweekly or monthly - not defined yet).
I would like to thank Lachlan Deck for his research and the patch that
make the deployment of Wonder releases possible, Pascal Robert for
offering the WOCommunity server to host the service and the Moleque de
Idéias team for providing support and hardware in this initial phase.
Enjoy!

PS: We really recommend you to use a Repository Manager to act as a
proxy of the WOCommunity Maven Repository. This way we save bandwidth
and you avoid problems if the repository become unavailable for some reason.
