Do not include the third party Jsch libraries
----------------------------------------------
Key: MNG-586
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-586
Project: Maven 2
Type: Wish
Components: maven-artifact-ant
Reporter: Jason van Zyl
Hello,
Can I request that the Ant tasks for Maven do not include the third
party Jsch libraries in their own jar
It may seem a good solution to your dependencies -bundle them in your
own JAR, but the consequences are
-unless you release the libs in perfect syncrhonisation with the jsch
releases, your version will be behind
-if someone has a different version of the jsch stuff on the
classpath, they may not get what they want
-the ant team ends up fielding the bug reports
We have problems with existing libraries including stuff like oro and
antlr, and have documented it
http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies
Please dont add to the list.
I understand the value in secure downloads, but feel this is the wrong
tactic. If having the library is a prerequisite, please point to the
library at download time. Otherwise, well, surely dynamic downloading of
stuff is what the library is meant to be good at?
