Hmm, interesting idea - this is currently not the case. I'm not sure, ifCan be a way to go. However, I'd like to place an absolute requirement on the build system : the "dist" target *must compile all source files*.Well, for the download feature we don't really need one of those. Ant is able to download things as well. Look at the avalon framework build script for example. It provides extra targets to download 3rd party libraries.
That means we may not require all libs to be present to build a local cocoon.jar (some users want to build their own jar but don't need the whole stuff), but the distro must include everything.
this is really a good idea. For example, how many downloaders need the
php support?
Look at [1] and [2] : this clearly shows that JSPEngineImplWLS _is_ zombified. Users need it but don't know about it, and those who know about it find it to be out of date and give up... Had this code been included in the distro, we certainly would have received some patches to upgrade it for newer versions of WLS.
