There still are quite different solutions to this. The Maven style repositories plus Ruper is one solution. It would be rather easy to build one on top of RPM using the work the jpackage people have done. No adhoc places either - and you get the repository database for free. I'm not suggesting anything here, I want to point out that there are options to solve these issues that are not Ruper. > So I would reuse the same antllib for all projects that need it, not > have it downloaded and called ad.hoc for every project. But this is a separate step to me. The first step is to get the basic concept clear and implemented. Users should be able to share the same Ant lib by pointing their build files to the correct locations. I'm the type of user who prefers to perform some extra manual work over things happening automagically - and I'd like to keep <antlib> available to this type of users 8-) Stefan
