It seems to me it would be nice if: JDK dependant code seperated from the non-JDK dependant code. The source and binary distributions BOTH included the jdk dependant code precompiled, with an option to recompile it or not provided the correct JDK. At runtime the JDK version were detected and the correct class was loaded dynamically.
Of course, I'm a little dull so maybe this is a bad idea and its just not obvious to me as to why. -Andy John Morrison wrote: >>From: Nicola Ken Barozzi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >>Morrison, John wrote: >> >> >>>>From: Nicola Ken Barozzi [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] >>>>Morrison, John wrote: >>>> >>>> >>>>>I do wish JJAR was finished... :( >>>>> >>>>> >>>>Well, it works, Centipede is using it with great satisfaction. >>>> >>>> > >I'll have to take another look.
