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 :-) > On Tue, 19 Mar 2002, Tomasz Pik wrote: > > > Jason van Zyl wrote: > > > > What about Commons-Sandbox JJar Component? > > I use a little modified version of this tool and I think this is a very > > good solution for 'continous integration' and managing of differen > > versions of libraries at all. > > > > BTW what is the future of JJar? > > > > Tomek Pik > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > > > > > > -- > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > > > > -- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- jvz.
