Any chance of getting a Maven 2 POM uploaded to ibiblio?

I think they are synced with ibiblio and the previous WW was released to it very quickly. However, it's strange that they don't declare any dependency even the basic ones (like xwork).
I think if they are using ivy, they might use the new support for maven2 and start declaring dependencies in the pom.

Strike that, the new release is on ibiblio with deps declared. Congratulations to the WW team and thank you!!!

Congratulations and thanks for WW 2.2.1.. keep up the good work!

However please include root directory in your distribution..

Problem was pointed out in 2.2 but remains in 2.2.1..

Cheers,
Fred

Too bad you guys still have not learned how to zip up your distribution. I wonder how many people went 'oh fuck' after they unzipped this and saw that there was no 'webwork-2.2' root directory.

Coffeetime!

Sorry about that - I didn't notice it because on OS X a folder is created anyway (it's odd that WinZip and Windows still haven't added such a simple feature). I'll make a note to fix that in 2.2.1.
