--------------------------------------
Summary: Reorganize dist area to reduce -bin package size
Key: CONNECTORS-862
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CONNECTORS-862
Project: ManifoldCF
Issue Type: Task
Components: Build, Documentation
Affects Versions: ManifoldCF 1.5
Reporter: Karl Wright
Assignee: Karl Wright
Fix For: ManifoldCF 1.6
Our -bin packages now exceed 200M. We need to do what we can to reduce their
sizes in the future.
One of the biggest contributors to bloat in the bin package is the duplication
of jars. While some of this is unavoidable (we will still need the
connector-lib and connector-lib-proprietary directories, for instance), we can
save maybe 100M simply by having only one copy of a jar for all jars used in
explicit classpaths. The strategy of putting jars needed in a given classpath
in a specific directory, for example, could be replaced by having jars reside
in one place, and building class paths at compile time based on dynamic
conditions. We may need an ant plugin for this, but I think it would be well
worth it.
