Apache repository for maven jars to replace iBiblio

Index of /java-repository at the ASF is a suitable replacement for much of what is at iBiblio. I've found it much more reliable and accessible, so plan to use it as my default repo listing in maven from now on, along with my own repo at eremite.org.

I've also decided to postpone making the upgrade to maven 2.0 until a more complete set of documentation comes out. After all these years, I can't believe they still don't make a standard set of example applications. In the Drools project, we made sure to have numerous example applications to show people how to use our rule engine. And the strategy paid off in full over the long run. Maven 2 should follow our example on this.

Now that I'm back to using maven 1.0, I'll need to start rolling out releases of my source code and jars for the CORM project. I'll write about that project very soon.
