Great! > Do the docs need to be cleared as well from those deps (just the written > docs, not code samples)? If you mean mentioning the dependency in the documentation, no. It's something we would have to do before a release. But it's not something we need to do to clear the incubator. We can *use* LGPL software to do our own work. The problem is we can't *distribute* LGPL software, because the terms conflict with the more liberal Apache License. -Ted. > Has anyone yet talked to the JasperReports guy? > This would be a dependency really hard to replace... This isn't our favorite option, but that could also be something that was offered as an extension through SourceForge or Open Symphony. It would not be maintained by the Apache Struts Project, though the same indivduals might be involved. Sometimes, it's also possible to provide a bridge API that would let people use an extension like JasperReports if they downloaded the JAR themselves. The bridge API would let us compile our code without having the actual LPGL jar available. Again, this not something we like to do, but it can be done if necessary. I'll add JasperReports to the list. -Ted. > > cheers, > Rainer > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
