I decided long ago not to use anybody else's binaries if I could help it. I want my system to be auditable. For a long time I had to use Adobe's Flash & Oracle's JRE, but no longer. > you're a Java developer, all those third-party dependencies are just > dragged in from binary repos using build tools like Maven.

I have not tried myself. So just a guess. As you know I don't know much about java and its component parts. I thought about doing that. That's why I went to my CentOS-6 system. I thought if a jar is like a tar, I could find out what's in the expected junit.jar, match that against the snapshot, and try a symlink if they match. But CentOS doesn't have the file either. So I built without junit, and am still uncertain about the consequences of doing that. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
