+1! It is a good thing that we've made our APIs easy recognizable ;) > * We need to keep a copy of all released bundles (the latest > version of each) in a repository to baseline against.

We need to include a version of ECJ in our build-repository for off-line builds, but how do we include this in our source releases? We cannot ship binaries with our source release, but can we use the same approach as we currently have for the compile-time dependencies? - -- Met vriendelijke groeten | Kind regards Jan Willem Janssen | Software Architect +31 631 765 814 /My world is revolving around PulseOn and Amdatu/ Luminis Technologies B.V.
