this is a classic use case for svn:externals (including a common directory). i see any technical reason not to use it. > The mechanism I've described is simple enough - just use the Internet for > what it was supposed to be used for. And no duplicated files at all. i played around with the svn:externals approach yesterday and the problems with the resolution of entities in maven make it harder than it should be. it's fragile and has taken a lot of maintenance over the years so maybe it's time that we gave another approach a try. generally speaking, hosting DTD's on apache hardware is very much frowned up: DTD look ups eat a surprising amount of bandwidth. in this case, though, i don't think that it should cause a problem. why not give it a try and see if it improves things? - robert --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
