Meaning the actual repository where people upload code, not the build tools themselves (though presumably they would be different too in some ways).

If you could start your own package repository today with Java as it is now but you were able to practically ignore all existing code, what would you do differently.

Stuff like

• What metadata you store / require
• What kind of artifacts you'd allow
• Would you still use G:A:V?
• Would you enforce versioning, merge all the javadocs, build all projects from source, use JMODs, ... etc

Or, would you change absolutely nothing.
