Hi,
tonight a large batch of native libraries was committed to the
community/spatialite section:

/devel/git-gs/src/community/spatialite/lib$ du -csh *
50M native
50M total

This is unprecedented, I think we got mad at people for less than 1MB binary
commits
in svn in the past.

Now, I understand Jose is new to GeoServer development so I'm going to give
him some
slack, but those libraries have to go, and please avoid any large file
commit to svn in
the future.
All types of libraries, pure java or  should be handled by maven artifacts,
which are going to be downloaded only by who works on the module.

I think SWT can be an example, afaik the jar distributed on the maven repos
contain
the native libraries for all the target OS (which in this case are small
enough to stick
all of them in a single jar).

In this case 50MB of library are too much for a single jar, I guess they
could be split
by OS with profiles activating based on the current operating system?

Btw, I think Jose will need rights to upload these jars either to the osgeo
or opengeo
repositories.

Cheers
Andrea
