Regarding JDK 1.3 ([1]): How did you solve the problem with the J2EE/Geronimo jars? Did you recompile them?

In contrast to this I prefer to deliver the dependencies as well. There are rumours about companies that don't provide direct access to the internet from the employee's PCs, but only via a terminal server (Unfortunately, I'm working for such a company). The problem is simply that those people can't use such download tasks or Maven. If you don't deliver the dependencies they have to run after each single jar. Even for Apache Cocoon (which has a huge list of dependencies) we will provide a distribution including the dependencies. > * Distribution of (potentially) 3rd party binaries (as an example, > JUnit, in this case) means we have to understand their licenses (by > refering to the ASF legal docs), determine reciprocity requirements as > needed etc. No bang for the buck here.
