Hi,
 
I am one of those guys needing a distro. Main reason: we are using Ant. If you wonder why we chose Ant and not Maven: we are located behind a very restrictive firewall that only permits htpp and socks 5 traffic. So far, we haven't been able to let maven tunnel through the socks firewall.
 
So, having a full distro is *very* fine - Spring comes in exactly the same way. Having a light distro is also ok - quite useful if only AndroMDA has changed and the dependencies remain untouched.

Subject: [Andromda-devel] andromda distribution

The current build weighs in at around 33MB, wouls it make sense to create a ‘light edition’ which takes up less space ?

 

we could leave out these things:

  • /lib
  • /samples
  • /docs.zip

 

The download would be around only 2 MB in that case

 

I think it would be interesting, I mean, why do people download the bundle anyway ? they can do everything by running just maven only and have it download the dependencies for them .. I think it’s because they want all the libs in one shot, so perhaps it’s nice to offer them a zip with andromda libs only (and the Ant stuff)

 

Ideas ? I obviously never download the distributions J so I might not think of something here
