Why is there no Maven repository for Eclipse Birt 3.7 => There is one for Birt 4.2

Question

Now, since Birt 3.7 has an easier way to use the runtime (just deploy the jars), why is there no maven repository?

Birt contains over 50 dependencies, it\'s ridiculous.<

Answer 1

You can find another workaround here: http://hartmann-schneevoigt.com/2012/04/04/eclipse-birt-3-7-2-with-maven/

Basically, in this solution / workaround the birt artifacts were uploaded to a local artifact proxy using maven-eclipse-plugin and then used as normal maven dependencies, as you would do in general.

All necessary pom snippets and commands are provided, so this should be a short task.
