Hi folks, while creating the release I wondered about the size of the distributables and how to reduce them, esp. in the src ones. One of things to do here would obviously be fetching the required jars from a central repository. Now I'm not that much of a Maven guy, and given the troubles that the jakarta commons guys had/have, I'd rather avoid Maven 1 (Maven 2 might be worth checking out though). However, we can have this easier if we wanted, with the help of Ivy (http://www.jayasoft.org/ivy). It basically performs the dependency management for Ant, e.g. loads jars that we depend upon, from ibiblio or some other central repository. There's even ways to automatically use the ivy dependency descriptors as a classpath in Eclipse (perhaps also for IDEA, havn't checked).
WDYT, should I try to integrate Ivy into OJB ? Tom --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
