Hi,
as we are using maven to build sanselan, we get this for free; the only
extra work we have to do later on is to put the maven artifact (the jar
and the pom) into the maven repository (but that's fairly simple).
For the download distribution I don't think we should add the wiki docs
itself as this might give us some legal headaches right now - everyone
who wrote something on the wiki needs to have a signed CLA on file *if*
we include this in our releases. I think a link to the wiki is enough -
at least for a first step.
Regards
Carsten

Hi Craig,
I'm not really familiar with that option. Can you elaborate or
perhaps share a url?
http://maven.apache.org is the starting point for information. I've been
using maven for a while now and it's very popular among open source
projects. In order to use sanselan in a project, all you need to do is
to include a few lines of code in an xml file and you're done. Maven
will download the jar file and include it in your build and run
environments.
For example, to use sanselan in another project, you'd declare this in
your configuration file:
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.sanselan</groupId>
<artifactId>sanselan</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
</dependency>
What trade-offs do we face in this decision?
It's just a bit more work setting up the publication of the jar file in
the maven repository. All the usual due diligence is still required to
prepare the jar file for publication.
