The current practice in many apache projects is
cvs co myproject
cd myproject
ant
To get it work you maintain a build.properties file to
hold the places where your external jar files and other
system/home dependencies. This way you can keep only one
instance per version of any parsers, loggers etc. And
you can take a look at the jjar initiative in the commons
sandbox.
It's worth to get rid of things like this:
/opt/hpmw/hpis/tools/tes_hpis/lib/ext/xerces.jar
/opt/icecubes0_5/xerces.jar
/opt/Protege-2000/plugins/xerces.jar
/opt/nomagic/lib/xerces.jar
/opt/castor-0.9.2/xerces.jar
/opt/niggle/lib/xerces.jar
/opt/xsl-pl-codegen/lib/xerces.jar
...
etc. yet another 30 xerces.jars.
