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.

RIght. I don't see a need to put wiki content into the releases.

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.
