The location of block.xml is not important. It can be anywhere. Copy it to a local place if you think you will have network problems. JARs will be cached locally automatically. > Sounds like we're redoing a lot of JNLP. Yes, BUT... 1. JNLP requires explicit declaration of JARs to download. Merlin can derive that information. 2. JNLP requires explicit declaration of where to download from, no notion of repository. Merlin knows layout of Repositories (Maven type only at the moment) and will pick up the JARs from there. So if you change the repository location, you have a single line to change. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
