That's absolutely pathetic and unacceptable :(.
So let's start pairing this down:
- let's move the security module to WSS4J and release that separately?
Let folks download that separately (we can point to that too but its not
reasonable to include that in the base)
- the way we're packaging now, there are 2+ copies of every jar file in
the binary dist:
- one copy in the lib/ directory
- another copy in the webapps/META-INF/lib directory
- for all the security stuff (I was going to say junk but I restrained
myself ;-)) inside the mar file as well
- we are also dist'ing 2 copies of all the mars
- one copy in the webapp
- one copy outside the webapp
I'd like to separate the webapp into a separate download from the base
binary distribution. Can we think of a creative way to package the admin
war separately?
We need to do some serious refactoring of the build and dist stuff.
Sanjiva.
