I agree that your plan is better than the previous plan for
multiple trunks, but I'm not convinced that either plan is actually
making things simpler...
If I understand your proposal, tags/geronimo-spec-jaxrpc-<jax-
rpcversion>/pom.xml will specify the tagged versions of saaj,
qname, and servlet upon which it depends? So, haven't we just split
apart the specification of these version dependencies from a single
pom.xml into multiple poms? Is this really making things simpler?
That'd be right. I'm not sure how complicated that is, though. None
of those specs have changed in a year. Can you give an non-
hypothetical example of something that does change and causes this
problem that isn't the J2EE uber-jar?
