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

Please note that the artifacts present in Maven Central (http://mvnrepository.com/artifact/org.ow2.orchestra.eclipse.birt) are incomplete: for example, they are missing the PDF emitter.

That means you cannot produce PDF, a serious drawback for a reporting engine, IMO.
