The end goal is not to have the JARs in CVS, but to use Maven, or grab them from ibiblio.org. Adding them to CVS is a "half-measure" to help a few people along the way to this goal. The flaw in the current system is the reliance on a "build.properties.sample", which one needs to copy and customize to build docs. jakarta-commons follows a model similar to jakarta-taglibs and jakarta-struts. Someone checks in a sample properties file, with references to arbitrary locations of dependencies. I'm all for moving to another system, but I read Henri's email as an accurate take on the situation from one of the few people who needs to generate the site and push it to daedalus.
