[ee4j-build] Artifact deleted from staging

[Stuart Douglas <sdouglas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

I had a staged Servlet 4.0.2 release ready to go, but it appears to have disappeared from the staging repo.

It was definitely staged as it was visible under:

https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/staging/jakarta/servlet/

Looking at our Jenkins instance we do not have a job set up to delete the repo, and no jobs that modify the staging repo have been run in the last 2 weeks.

Is there a time limit on how long an artifact can stay in the staging repo? If there is no time limit then I was wondering how fine grained the staging repo permissions are, i.e. could a bug in another projects Jenkins script drop our staging repo? If neither of these options is possible does anyone have any other idea what could have happened?
