Hi Julius, (JPackage team - could you please comment on this if you think any of my rationale is kooko...Just remember my mailbox limit is 1 Gig)
I have not investigated it personally, but someone from JPackage said that it does. Yes - It does support non-versioned dependencies :-) Which I think is the cause of a lot of [EMAIL PROTECTED] showing up in some of the maven support mailing lists. Personally I'm concerned about using any dependency other than one set by =. One could make the assumption that someone checked all the dependencies outside of =. But if they missed one, and someone uses it... On the other hand = is the only thing used and the application builds and runs, users can be fairly certain that it's good to go. They can also be certain that the developers took care in specifying versioned dependencies. This also encourages developers to be careful about testing when changing depedencies (Since it takes a warm body, at least for now). Sorry - I missed the point of: Requires: jpackage-utils Could you please elaborate?
