Jackrabbit was build on different open source projects and much more complex than some simple utility library. The total number of jars doesn't concern with me once we have a clear dependency policy and documentation for each modules. The repository launcher will load those dependencies especially in OSGi environment, 14 or 24 doesn't make too much difference. Those jars will copied by some automated process to libs folder and end user doesn't need to aware those dependencies. The only concern is the number of jars started with jackrabbit-*. I would dream to get a default repository just with jackrabbit-core. Just a DREAM :) -Guo
