Looks a bit weird, but in the end it shouldn't be a difference in amount of work. The only difference I see is that you always see the versions of other components that are unrelated to the current component (in the Sling project). And the overview pages are a bit cluttered. But this could be seen as a missing feature in Jira... > The Apache Commons project has a separate Jira project for each > component and that setup works fine. Ok, so this style seems to be accepted, then Jackrabbit couldn't be made responsible for cluttering the Apache Jira ;-) > If a component is "too small" to even have it's own issues (!), then > there's not much point in even having such a component, is there? ;-) I didn't said it had no issues, I just proposed the granularity to be the one of a Jira component. It might be painful to release components separately, but that's simply because Jira doesn't allow a matrix-style versioning and/or forces release units to be a separate project. As it seems, releases are the major driver for this decision, so I can live with the separate Jira projects. Regards, Alex -- Alexander Klimetschek [EMAIL PROTECTED]
