I think a very significant part of this problem is just the profusion of jars anyway. The real incompatibility you're worried about is when two projects are using different versions of subcomponents, or at least the multitude of subcomponents makes it that much more likely. Commons isn't

I'm going to send in basically the textbook description of SVD, in case someone wants to implement it. If you guys get your householder reductions, then that's the most difficult part. I have code for all of this, but it is held up by legal, so I'll just give you guys the basic ideas instead. For

Hi guys, I haven't sent mail to this list before. I've noticed that apache doesn't have an SVD algorithm, so I put one together. Are you guys interested? This is entirely of my creation, I didn't copy or examine code from anywhere. I wrote all the transformations by hand just browsing through lin
