There is automation in maven2 I am told; there is some stuff under way
in jakarta commons where some ant team and maven folk are
collaborating on ant/maven support for bouncycastle PGP as a precursor
to better automation/security. There is too much trust in the process
right now...anyone can submit a new jar request and they are mostly
taken on trust (mostly; if you submitted a new xerces release there
would be some name checks, i suspect).

JIRA does have some SOAP api doesnt it. hmmm. 

tell you what, once i work out how, and have it stable, i'll send you
the code. The maven repository really works best once every jar you
need is on there. too bad all the sun ones, are forever off-limits,
due to their click through licenses.

the jaxen .pom is actually troublesome; it includes everything it
needs to build, not to run. so with the new maven2 transient download
stuff, it tries to put jdom and dom4j onto the classpath, which is not
what i want. Maybe the latest maven2 beta has added the facility to
turn off transient retrieval.
