I'd vote for sticking with the current approach for 2.0 and then dropping the 1.4 support entirely for 2.1.
It would cause confusion to change the existing convention of dependancy packaging, but for a the new minor release (2.1) we can finally follow the statement on the struts2 website saying that Java 5 is a requirement and redirect the effort currently spent on the J4 release into improving the code code. -----Original Message----- From: Antonio Petrelli [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 11 January 2008 15:05 To: Struts Developers List Subject: Re: [S2] Libraries in JDK 1.4 distribution 2008/1/11, Don Brown <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > I'm leaning more and more to not shipping dependencies by default Do you mean in the "lib" and "all" distributions too? I don't know: if you don't put them in, you have not a working distribution. IMO, if a developer downloads a distribution expects to find everything he/she needs to make it work. If I want to control the dependencies better, I will get on the Maven path. Antonio so I'd prefer the 1.4 distro to not have them. Our download > sizes are way too big already.
