the idea is that you create two releases. newbies and those who just want to give it a try can grab the 'ready-to-run' released jar containing all the code they need to get started. more experienced developers will grab the base jar and manage the dependencies themselves.That's a bad idea. If String Taglib includes unrelated code, then, later,i also think that the String Taglib should consider offering a ready-to-run release which contained the commons-lang classes as well as an minimal release containing just the taglib code.
when
you try to include commons-lang in the project, you get random behavior. I
had this problem with an Oracle library at one point. Took forever to figure
out what was going on. And even if it's documented, noone will remember a few
months later, when it comes up.
i've seen this done elsewhere and it can work well.
