+1 to avoiding myriads of jar files

some of the commons projects take this to the extreme - all of a sudden you
have 500 dependencies, half of which are very small jar files in any case.
it just makes it incredibly hard for new developers (and those of us who
don't speak binary as a native tongue like some of you crazy guys).

Right - I agree. This sounds like a ridiculous idea really. I don't want to
have to update 7 (!!) CVS modules and build 7 JARs just to use webwork.

What does having JSP support in the JAR if you don't use JSP give you? Maybe
10k extra in your app? You'll manage :)
