 I will add this to the set of commons packages I build nightly, and to the
 commons-combo package (that builds a combined JAR/Javadocs for all the
 released jakarta-commons libraries).

 Although, I'm beginning to wonder if subproject/project status might be
 better.  Jelly core looks like it's becoming a framework with lots of
 optional packages (and their associated dependencies) on top of it, very
 reminiscent of Ant ...

Agreed.


I think we need a small Jelly core, with few dependencies and then seperate
optional packages. We can always make a jelly-combo JAR like
commons-combo with all the different packages combined into a single jar
for those that want it.

I think that it would be better to release Jelly with some tag libraries
but maybe not with all of them. And release some tag libraries in the
independent way. This 'big' library may be hard to maintain then 'core'
distribution and set of tag libraries. (Remember problems with logging
Log4J support and NPEs?)

I think the same applied to Morper component, BTW.

Agreed. I think a small core of Jelly with few dependencies, then other
libraries available seperately would be a great idea. Its a common complaint
that 'Jelly has lots of dependencies' when really the core is pretty small
and has few non-commons dependencies, its just that different libraries have
dependencies on other libraries.

We could still create a 'one big jar' if need be (like commons-core, or
ant-optional etc) or could leave each add-on library as a seperate jar for
those wishing a more fine grained control. What I'd really like is a
Maven-plugin style model where new libraries and their dependencies could be
loaded on demand (if need be) from a small core in a JJAR / Maven / forehead
/ classworlds kinda way.

One of the main aims of proposing Jelly to the commons proper is so that the
community can decide the best release form of Jelly. I'd appreciate any
feedback on these ideas
