Unfortunately, this is not the case. Those mock classes will have to be LGPL-ed as well and we won't be able to ship them with our stuff anyway (because of ASF policies)Antonio,thanks for your appreciation. We'd like to insert it into the next release of Cocoon, but we're not committers :( moreover, JFreeChart is (L)PGL. In fairness though, I think licensing is not much of a problem, since (L)PGL is, more or less, equivalent to ASL and we could easily provide some mock classes to prevent breaking the build, even in absence of the JFreeChart JARs.
LGPL was written for C code. Java, being highly dynamic, doesn't really distringuish between what is a library and what is your code. And the FSF likes it to be that way since they don't like java (being a non-free language from their point of view)
One day we'll have cocoon blocks and these problems will be solved but for now, we won't ship xGPL classes from official ASF distributions.
