Sandro Martini commented on PIVOT-864:
--------------------------------------
Roger,
adding many jars (as a build/runtime dependency) for a single (ok, complex)
component to me doesn't looks so good ... and I just see that there is even a
snapshot jar ... I'd prefer the provider approach, and put that
dependencies/code in one of our Apache-Extras subproject (even a dedicated one).
Then we have to update even the NOTICE file (and maybe the BUILD), check
license compliance for all jars:
for all Apache jars of course there aren't problems, but for others (jsch jar
for example) we have to check and be sure that they are really needed.
And when we release the source distribution (and any Apache release is
primarily a source distribution) we must give them or people will not be able
to generate Pivot binary artifacts ... so I'm not sure it's a good thing.
Anyway I'm not against this stuff, but we have to see how to handle it.

> Our application requires the ability to be able to browse (for instance) a
> Linux machine from the Windows desktop. For this I would like to add
> (somehow) a pluggable file system architecture so that I could (for instance)
> implement an FTP protocol underneath the FileBrowser so that I can browse
> through directories and files on something other than the local machine. We
> would also need to be able to type in a host name or TCP/IP address to start
> browsing the remote machine.
