Hi, For testing purpose.. why cant provide bin artifacts in a separate convenience binary package as its being done in many other projects.. why it should be part of source package.?
For the easy detection.. bin artifacts can have same version number as source. Again.. Official voting is on source package as per policy. -Vinay On Sun, 24 Feb 2019, 12:44 pm Willem Jiang, <willem.ji...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Ted, > > You made a good point, I think my solution could be building the jars > from source and then using it for testing. > > Willem Jiang > > Twitter: willemjiang > Weibo: 姜宁willem > > On Sun, Feb 24, 2019 at 10:02 AM Ted Dunning <ted.dunn...@gmail.com> > wrote: > > > > Willem, > > > > This issue of embedded binaries for testing purposes has come up before. > > Examples include network intercepts for testing malware detection or > class > > files for a byte code manipulator.
