Hi,

I was wondering if JJAR sandbox project was still
alive. I didn't seen any recent activity for this
project :-( 

Here is what I'm trying to achieve and it seems that
JJAR "almost" does that. 

I do a lot of small Java programs (experiments :-)) on
my desktop. Each project has the following structure:

./build.xml
./src
./lib
./build

"lib" directory contains all the .jars I need to
compile/do a distro of.

Recently I found JJAR. My understanding is that JJAR
is able to fetch packages (set of jars) with their
dependencies from a central repository (described by
repository.xml) and add them, with jjar task, to the
[class]path in ANT build file.

The problem is that I don't want to fetch these
packages from outside but rather store them in a
single local directory. I think that JJAR is not able
to do it.

I would like to have a directory with all the packages
(definitions and dependencies would be described by
repository.xml) on my desktop and simply reference
them in my build.xml - no copying/fetching. JJAR task
would resolve dependecies and create appropriate Ant's
path value.

Looking at JJAR sources this should not be difficult
to do.

Do you think this feature is interesting (If yes I
could implement it)? Or maybe there are some other
tools/libraries doing what I'm looking for?

Note that Maven seems to be too heavy for what I'm
trying to do.

Any help appreciated.


Best Regards,
Slawek Zachcial
