[ http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNG-586?page=all ]
Brett Porter updated MNG-586:
-----------------------------
Fix Version: 2.0-beta-1
Yep, this is a matter of convenient distribution, there is the
standalone antlib which is quite small but requires all the
dependencies in the classpath, or the fat one that has everything.
I want to trim them down a bit anyway, and cull some providers as you
suggest and provide easy ways to add them. Perhaps another task for
ensuring the presence of a wagon provider and its dependencies which
would be simple enough - we haven't solved that problem for Maven
itself yet either.
> Do not include the third party Jsch libraries

> Hello,
> Can I request that the Ant tasks for Maven do not include the third
> party Jsch libraries in their own jar
> It may seem a good solution to your dependencies -bundle them in your
> own JAR, but the consequences are
> -unless you release the libs in perfect syncrhonisation with the jsch
> releases, your version will be behind
> -if someone has a different version of the jsch stuff on the
> classpath, they may not get what they want
> -the ant team ends up fielding the bug reports
> We have problems with existing libraries including stuff like oro and
> antlr, and have documented it
> http://ant.apache.org/manual/install.html#librarydependencies
> Please dont add to the list.
> I understand the value in secure downloads, but feel this is the wrong
> tactic. If having the library is a prerequisite, please point to the
> library at download time. Otherwise, well, surely dynamic downloading of
> stuff is what the library is meant to be good at?
