No problem.
Our discussion revolved around making JJAR work against the gump
information repository rather than it's own information repository.
My personal belief is that either
1) Gump should use JJAR to get dependency information. Using tools is
good.
2) If Gump doesn't want to depend on external tools and must define its
own dependency information, then it should make that dependency set free
of any gump specific schema structure or data, so that it can be shared
as widely as possible and let all tools that use it (gump included)
evolve in their own way w/o affecting the others.
I have a whole bunch of reasons for both, but I won't bore y'all with
them.
