Hi Daniel, I'm cc'ing the list on this because I think it is an important point that the current scripts do not address.

You are correct, that with the existing scripts Project B does not know about the dependencies for Project A without you adding all of Project A's dependencies to Project B. In theory I could insert Project A's .classpath file into Project B's .classpath file (immediately following the entry for ProjectB) at build-time, then use that "unified" .classpath file to build links to all the dependencies. But that would be a lot of work. It maybe best just to add Project's A's WOFramework dependencies into Project B's. If I'm missing something and there is a better way to deal with this, please let me know! Dave _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
