Why do something else ? JJAR exists no ? what is wrong with it ?
Nothing, it's exactly what I mean :-) In fact I'm using it since day one.
The page still mentions that it is work in progress and not in production. What is the reason ?
Lack of developers to take care of it?
It's changing, I'm getting more interested in it, and honestly it does its job quite well, never had any problems yet.
Each project should maintain his own, and JJAR can easily handle it. It just needs someone looking over it, as you say.
I have made my repo for the krysalis project, and before final release I will make the central JJAR repo reference mine for the krysalis stuff.
So... what does Ant has to do with this jar update ? Sure Ant can takes advantage of jjar to update some libraries...but then again it needs a central point of information..as we want to push more and more tasks outside Ant..obviouslly people will need to provide a fully defined ant plugin..it will need to be registered in Ant..and it would need to be checked for new version when available. We'll certainly not maintain a long list of task at jakarta that are available in '15462 places.
? 20 tasks 20 references. How many do you want to make as Ant optional?
There is no /need/ to reference others in the central repository.
Say you have a bare bone Ant freshly downloaded...ok you need to 'download' many plugins from many locations. how do you do that ? manually the first time ? you modify a repository description of Ant and say 'plugin A, http://' 'plugin B, http://";, you run Ant with a specific command and go..it updates(ie download the first time) every plugin and install them ?
You just say (example):
ant -repo=http://jakarta.apache.org/ant -plugin=junit -version="1.1"
and it downloads the antlib or whatever.
