A project has been started already to address this directly - called JJAR, over in the commons project, it uses repository information to do exactly as you wish. Currently it supports being used from an ant task as well as command line, accessing a repository to fetch specific versions of projects and their dependencies. I am a touch behind getting some updates into CVS for JJAR, so what you see there now isn't quite right. While I have promised several times, I have a 6 hour plane ride on Wednesday that I aim to use to catch up, get the code in order, and checked in. -- Geir Magnusson Jr. [EMAIL PROTECTED] System and Software Consulting "Now what do we do?" -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
