Description

The org.apache.sling.auth.openid bundle includes the following repository definition in its pom.xml file

    <repositories>
            <repository>
              <releases>
                <enabled>true</enabled>
              </releases>
              <id>dyuproject-repo</id>
              <name>dyuproject-repo</name>
              <url>http://dyuproject.googlecode.com/svn/repos/maven2</url>
            </repository>
    </repositories>

and the following dependencies

                <dependency>
                        <groupId>com.dyuproject</groupId>
                        <artifactId>dyuproject-openid</artifactId>
                        <version>1.1.7</version>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                        <groupId>com.dyuproject</groupId>
                        <artifactId>dyuproject-util</artifactId>
                        <version>1.1.7</version>
            </dependency>
            <dependency>
                        <groupId>com.dyuproject</groupId>
                        <artifactId>dyuproject-json</artifactId>
                        <version>1.1.7</version>
            </dependency>

Since we sync/upload these artifacts to maven central [1] we should consider following the recommendation of not adding repositories to POMs [2] . There is an open request in the dyuproject tracker [3] to upload the openid artifacts to Maven Central, but it's been there for almost two years, and the project hasn't seen much activity ( no commits since June 2011 ).

I see two ways around this issue:

• Use the sonatype service for uploading 3rd party bundles to Maven Central [4]
• Replace the com.dyuproject dependency with something different

Thoughts?
