I agree wholeheartedly as well with these points. As for my
admittedly gut level concerns for adding the JQuery (non-Apache

and hope to hear back soon. I will post as soon as I understand it
better.
Well Nirmal, I still don't understand things yet, but don't think I
should ask you to wait any longer. I think you should investigate
build options that are as loosely coupled as possible as Bryan
suggests and ideally a build that will succeed if JQuery is not
present, but not build the functionality that needs it. This is what
we used to do with the osgi.jar requirement before we checked in the
felix source for building.
Thanks

We need to continue to have a product which builds completely out of
the box.
I think appropriately licensed stubs for the build would be ok if we
don't repackage code, but as I said I don't understand the licensing
considerations in this case and won't be back on the list for a couple
weeks. I think a loosely coupled build would not be a regression as
this is adding new functionality and would not regress any existing
functionality. Some better long term build strategy could be implemented
later and still let Nirmal finish his summer project. I agree that
repackaging source in the product would be really bad.
As an aside I think the build still has the Junit dependency, but maybe
just for the tests. I haven't tried building just the product, but it
would be great if someday that was not required for ant all.
Thanks
Kathey
