Hello, I'm using commons-attributes with Spring on a Java 1.4 application. I've included commons-attributes-api 2.2 (from maven repo)
I get this Tomcat exception on startup : LifecycleException: Missing optional package Extension[ant, implementationURL= http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/ant/jars/ant-1.5.jar, implementationVersion=1.5] The commons-attributes MANIFEST contains those lines : Extension-List: ant qdox ant-Extension-Name: ant ant-Implementation-Version: 1.5 ant-Implementation-URL: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/ant/jars/ant-1.5.jar qdox-Extension-Name: qdox qdox-Implementation-Version: 1.5 qdox-Implementation-URL: http://www.ibiblio.org/maven/qdox/jars/qdox-1.5.jar I don't know what this "Extension-List" is and why is it required by commons-attributes. AFAIK, the API doesn't require those libs anyway (only the compiler do). Is this a bug, and what would be a workaround ? AFAIK there is no development anymore on commons-attributes, so I can't ask for a 2.2.1 to correct this. How to handle this "Extension-List" ? I've added ant and qodx in my WEB-INF/lib with no result. Nico.
