Re: [groovy-dev] Grail subproject

Hi all,

(This is my first post on Groovy list... though I've been on Grails
list for a while)

IMHO, since Groovy is a JVM language, and all Java libraries are
accessible, and Groovy based libs accessible to java (provided all
dependencies are met) - why not just use Maven's repository as the
centralized repository of stuff?  Why do we need to invent another
repository?
