The current practice in many apache projects is cvs co myproject cd myproject ant To get it work you maintain a build.properties file to hold the places where your external jar files and other system/home dependencies. This way you can keep only one instance per version of any parsers, loggers etc. And you can take a look at the jjar initiative in the commons sandbox. It's worth to get rid of things like this: /opt/hpmw/hpis/tools/tes_hpis/lib/ext/xerces.jar /opt/icecubes0_5/xerces.jar /opt/Protege-2000/plugins/xerces.jar /opt/nomagic/lib/xerces.jar /opt/castor-0.9.2/xerces.jar /opt/niggle/lib/xerces.jar /opt/xsl-pl-codegen/lib/xerces.jar ... etc. yet another 30 xerces.jars. incze --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
