Thanks for pointing that out. How about shipping the sources for the jars in the OC tarball ? I have cheched the licenses for the jars (see previous mails) During packaging the jars could be built locally if that is possible. > > Anyway I had a quick look and found this: > > http://wiki.debian.org/Java/MavenBuilder > > I never tested it, but already had a look.

So what you are saying is that for building a package all dependencies have to be on the build system and it is not acceptable to fetch them from somewhere ?
