I'm sorry for putting this out in pieces. I never did maven before and
I'm just starting Ivy so this is still voodoo to me.
Anyway, one of my projects uses fop 0.20.5. It has a "optional"
dependency to jai_codec. In the maven repository, there are no jars for
the jai_codec. There are xml and pom files, but no jar. So I have a
couple of questions.
First, should the jar be in there? Is this just a mistake, or is it
intentional? I seem to remember the JAI project having native code and
therefore must be installed, but I might be mixing that up with Java 3d.
If the dependency is optional, why does my build break if it can't find
the jar?
Thanks,
Rich
