Table that for now.... > Actually, the more I think about this, given the fact that we are encoding the vendor name into the project anyway, and given the fact that both Oracle and IBM have numerous Java packages available, I think it makes sense to install these in vendor-specific metaprojs, and limit the "java" metaproj to open source products which we can redistribute (if in fact, we can really do that -- JBoss is OSS, but you can't get it without logging in and maybe accepting a license). For now, I'm leaving these where they are (no risk -- noone's using this stuff yet, and won't be anytime soon), but I think it will make our lives easier if this stuff is integrated with the "oracle" and "ibm" metaprojs.
