Is it possible to host a Maven repository that serves the artifacts (at least the jar files) from SourceForge's file release system (since they are already there and SF provides download statistics and such)?
All the repositories I have seen use the same directory layout, but is that a must? Download URLs would have to look more like http://sf.net/something.cgi?file-id=1234567
There would only be a small number of files in the project, so that maintaining the download URL in some kind of repository metadata XML file semi-manually is still an option.
Note: This is kind of the opposite question to How can I deploy artifacts from a Maven build to the SourceForge File Release System?
Clarification: I want to put the files in the File Release System (Project Downloads), not the project web space or the subversion repository.
