As with all supporting libraries, if a newer one is available and someone feels that there are benefits, then replace the jar and run 'build test' and the site-author docs. This does a reasonably thorough test. Plus for example if it the logging library, then ensure logging still works. Obviously it is best to do this one library at a time. > I simply figured that two differently named > versions of a library could coexist. > > How does library calling work inside.
