------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Nov 15 05:16:56 -0800 2006 ------- Stephan, I appreciate that using copies of the JARs involves some risks of incompatibilities. However there are cases where using copies is just necessary: * you're connecting to OOo running on a different machine (using the host parameter in the connection string) * your app is a web app (like the ConverterServlet example in the SDK); in this case all your required JARs must be in your webapp's WEB-INF/lib Needless to say, web app development is very popular these days so especially the latter is something to keep in mind. Making copies is what most people do in practice. If you have a look at the "Macros and API" forum at oooforum.org you'll notice not everybody likes the new Bootstrap mechanism. (Except oooforum.org today says its DNS service is expired?!?) Back to Maven, it's mostly about managing dependencies in complex Java projects. If your project uses tens of different third-party JARs, and that's fairly common, it becomes a nightware to specify a hard-coded path (that may be different on differnt platforms) for each of them, both at compile time and for deployment. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
