Andrew McIntyre commented on DERBY-4024:
----------------------------------------
I'm not sure that I understand the reasoning behind this change. felix.jar is a
part of Derby's source distribution. Derby completely compiles from the source
tarball today, easier than ever thanks to all your recent build work. What
advantage is conferred by including the Felix source instead of the jar file in
the source distribution, exactly?
> Replace felix.jar file with the felix sources

> In order to bundle Derby with popular linux distributions like Debian and
> Ubuntu, it must be possible to build Derby from sources and existing linux
> components. By replacing Felix jar with the corresponding sources, we move
> another step closer to being able to bundle Derby with linux distributions.
