Peter,
Blimey, wern't you the one that pushed for separation of depots ? ;-)
For Jesktop I am juggling 12 depots, I have one called AvalonCommon, whose only job
is to copy
Xerces.jar and tools/ to the other 11. It works quite well and could be made bullet
proof with
some self checking build scripts.
