This does not stop operations from sticking different versions on production servers because they think better...my app now has defensive measures in like checking for old versions of java, crimson and refusing to run. Kind of funny when your code has to contain tests because ops dont read the documentation, but that is all in the category of 'installation validation' tests, that I now belive all deployed apps should have,. I do keep jikes under SCM, because I dont want anyone using the 1.15 build. We also have created differently named launcher scripts for ant, booting off a different set of env variables, 'PUMICE_ANT_HOME, PUMICE_ANT_OPTS ,...' so that you can avoid PATH issues, i.e. "which version of ant are you using" So to get back to Costin: SCM means Software Configuration Management, not source code management. When you build/deploy on any toolchain with a rate of change greater than the life of the project, then yes, everything you can should go into SCM, even if clearcase does happen to suck. Actually, a nice addition to keeping everything on SCM is that bringing up somebidy new is easier. No real list of things to install; and stuff that does need installation should all be on hand. we even had versions of Jedit around 'cos we needed the builds that were stable on an MPU. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
