Pierre-Arnaud Marcelot commented on DIRSERVER-1877:
---------------------------------------------------
Of course, I understand and agree too. But in the real world, the situation is
a bit more complicated than that.
Most of our users are using Maven or Ant (+ Ivy) and we already build and
deliver 14 different packages for each release, which need to be maintained and
tested.
I'm absolutely not against a "no-dependency" distribution, It would be a great
thing to have. But it's always a (difficult) matter of finding the good balance
between the time spent building and maintaining it and how much benefit it
brings to the community.
The Apache Directory Team is small and does not have infinite amount of time to
work on the project, which forces us to makes choices.
We're sorry about the inconvenience and I hope that, at least, you managed to
find what you wanted with our indications.
That's how Open Source works. Contributions are greatly welcomed. ;)
> No-dependency ditribution for apache ds should be made available

> Key: DIRSERVER-1877
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSERVER-1877
> Project: Directory ApacheDS
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M13
> Reporter: Anshuman
> Labels: apacheds, distribution, nodep
>
> The ApacheDS currently ships as a single service jar. This however includes
> all the dependencies bundled within it (ex: javax.servlet.*, mina, slf4j,
> etc). There should be option to download just the ApacheDS code so that when
> working in an embedded environment, unwanted dependencies can be avoided and
> for mandatory dependencies like mina, the application may chose a different
> version.
