Using something like JJAR or Maven (which has auto JAR downloading
feature) allows you to use a single set of JAR files for building all
your projects instead of having each project store JARs in CVS.

Maven will currently see if you have the required JARs for building and
brings them down from a central repository and stores them in your local
repository for use. It's not fool proof yet, in Turbine land we battled
with Maven yesterday to get all the distributions out the door but we
did it and it worked and all of used the same set of JARs.

So other than space issues and duplication of JARs everywhere there is
the issue of using the JAR that was produced by the project itself. So
if Turbine puts some JARs in the central repository they are guaranteed
to be the JARs produced by Turbine and not some tweaked JAR that was
placed in CVS.

It's definitely easier to check everything into CVS but I believe the
central repository of JARs theory will win out :-)
