The only nuances that I know of in a maven dependency list are the element optional (true or false) and the element scope (compile,runtime,provided,system). So for me both the languages for which bsf provides the engine and the languages which provide their own bsf engine are optional runtime dependencies. I do not know what maven does with optional runtime dependencies. I imagine in the end they are only a hint for the readers of your POMs about where to find the optional dependencies in ibiblio and which version numbers you endorse together with bsf 2.4.0. You could have a look at two files written mainly by Steve Loughran, fetch.xml and libraries.properties. http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ant/core/trunk/fetch.xml http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/ant/core/trunk/lib/libraries.properties these work with the maven ant tasks to download the libs. Maybe you could inspire yourself from these files to add similar files to bsf for users to download select lists of files. > > (2) Do you know if there is a way using Ant Maven tasks to not get > optional jars without explicitly excluding each one?

I do not know, I am not a big user of the maven ant tasks. Sounds like only Ivy can do what you want. You would like for instance to say : get bsf + groovy + jython but not beanshell for instance. > Thanks, Paul. > --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
