Using maven to build your project is fantastic for managing your dependencies and avoiding having dependencies (and their dependencies) checked into your own svn. The only fly in the ointment, is projects that don’t publish maven artifacts, and the Ajax Dojo Toolkit and Cometd have been one of these. Until now that is !

The new repositories are at

• http://download.dojotoolkit.org/maven2-snapshot/
• http://download.dojotoolkit.org/maven2/

I have blogged at length about the maven incantations needed to use these.

Currently only 1.2-SNAPSHOTs of Dojo and 1.0-SNAPSHOTs of parts of Cometd are published. Releases (including dojo 1.1.1) will be forthcoming once we have some feedback.
