I am currently making some minor changes to the updated docs (as described in my patch in the old docs). One thing that I have noticed is that the README that is in lib/optional of the source tree is not copied to the binary distribution. This means that this dependency information is not available to the binary user.
(Note, to avoid everyone having to look it up, I have appended the README at the end of this email). A quick fix is that the README could be copied (and perhaps renamed) to the binary distribution. Or a dependencies section could be added to the main install section. However, this would undo the great work that Conor has done in separating out the manual so a task's doc can be edited in sync. with its tasks. So I am thinking the correct fix is for this information to be in the optional task description. Perhaps a "Requirements" section at the end of each optional task doc? If there is agreement I can go ahead and do the cut and pasting. I am also not sure where to put the jakarta-regexp-1.2.jar and jakarta-oro-2.0.1.jar dependencies. dave --- README --- The required libraries should be placed here. The dependencies are: junit.jar - required for junit tasks, available at www.junit.org stylebook.jar - required by stylebook task, available in CVS repository of xml.apache.org testlet.jar - required for test task, available with Avalon via java.apache.org/framework jakarta-regexp-1.2.jar - required by some mappers, available at http://jakarta.apache.org/regexp/ jakarta-oro-2.0.1.jar - required for some mappers and the perforce tasks, available at http://jakarta.apache.org/oro/ ???antlr.jar???- required for antlr task, available at www.antlr.org bsf.jar - required for script task, available at http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/bsf/ netrexx.jar - required for netrexx task, available at http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/netrexx rhino.jar - required for script task if you want to use javascript, available at www.mozilla.org jpython.jar - required for script task if you want to use python, available at www.jpython.org netcomponents.jar - required by ftp and telnet tasks, available at http://www.savarese.org/oro/downloads/index.html#NetComponents
