Why do you consider this bad practice? Other projects e.g Cocoon keep all necessary jars in the CVS. It considerably lowers the entry barrier for a newbie. Of course this is less of a problem for a library like slide than for a application like cocoon. But it also helps to document which combinations of library versions are working together and protects you against the problem, that old versions of a library are not longer available. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
