Hi Jacopo,
How about using Apache Ivy more to manage dependencies. That way OFBiz
should reduce in size dramatically and the modifications of the licence and
notice file are trimmed down considerably.
Regards,
Pierre

Hi all,
the following are housekeeping tasks that could be part of the "SlimDown"
roadmap we could do (help from the community would be highly appreciated)
related to the big number of jar files bundled with OFBiz:
* making sure all jar files are marked as binary
* making sure they are listed properly in LICENSE (and if required NOTICE)
file
* making sure we are running stable versions and not snapshots (whenever
possible)
* upgrade jars to use latest versions (whenever possible)
* remove jars no more needed
* rename old jars to add release numbers in the file name
Any ideas on how to document compilation and runtime dependencies, purpose
and versions of each jars bundled in OFBiz?
A useful (but outdated/incomplete) source of information is this page:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBADMIN/Libraries+Included+in+OFBiz
You may have noticed that in the last few days I already started the work
of upgrading some jars, setting the file properties to binary etc..
I have also identified a few jars that may not be needed anymore, but I
would like your help/input in figuring out if we can actually remove them;
in fact, even if I was able to compile and run successfully all tests it is
still not guaranteed that some of them may be used under special conditions
at runtime (this is true for all jars):
framework/base/lib/ant/ant-nodeps-1.8.1.jar
framework/base/lib/Tidy.jar
framework/base/lib/ant-trax-1.8.0.jar
framework/base/lib/commons/commons-vfs-20070730.jar
There may be other files in the same condition.
Kind regards,
Jacopo
