Henri, +1. I brought this up before and was told that checking JAR files into CVS was verboten.

Could you elaborate on this ? When you say jars what > are you referring to ? > He's referring to the fact that one customizes a build.properties which refers to jar files checked into the velocity project. Or, (and this was added only recently), you can point to the same jars which are checked into the jakarta-site2 module. > > > >Is anyone against this?

From there we should consider Maven or simply having the build.xml retrieve the JARs from a URL. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
