Can't exactly remember if it made it to https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/devicemap/trunk/contrib/openddr/java/, but I remember OpenDDR had a readme on how to manually install the W3C JAR via Maven install-local before building it.
Guess all it takes is to reactivate some of those guidelines and procedures, then the "lib" folder and its content could be removed and it was OK to release it. On a side note, a once much bigger project OpenOffice I heard is close to being retired, too. http://openoffice.apache.org/ shows, it had the last release about a year ago, so it's not that unusual, and though OpenOffice graduated 2 years before DeviceMap, it may not be active that much longer...?;-| Werner On Mon, Sep 5, 2016 at 3:32 PM, Werner Keil <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > I think that might work.
