This is the first time I her of JJAR, but to me the real way to tie it into ANT is thru the antlib descriptor. You download an ANTLIB and it pulls out the correct version of any needed third party libraries. I do not want to have to install 3000 packages just because the is on task that I will never use that requires it. We need a lazy mechanism AND A WAY TO SWITCH IT OFF. > Then again maintaining such information for external > jakarta project is also > non negligible work. > If every small set of related tasks where to live in its own ANTLIB the whole thing would be much more manageble. ANTLIBs should be almost like subprojects which can have its onw relese cycle. Jose Alberto __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
