[DISCUSS] Time to create a openjpa-all Jar?

[Donald Woods]

I've noticed several threads on the users list where we keep getting 
questions about the runtime dependencies needed for OpenJPA and would 
like to propose OPENJPA-1063:

1) rename the current trunk/openjpa-all directory to trunk/openjpa to 
properly match the OpenJPA aggregate artifact name of 
openjpa-${version}.jar used today.

2) create a new /trunk/openjpa-all/pom.xml which creates a OpenJPA + 
depends + OSGi bundle metadata aggregate artifact 
openjpa-all-${version}.jar, which users can grab if they want all of the 
runtime dependency levels used to build/test.  This would not include 
any Derby, ANT, Postgresql or IBM dependencies.


A follow-on to #2 (OPENJPA-1062), will be adding the OSGi bundle 
metadata, to allow easy out-of-the-box installation and usage of OpenJPA 
on Apache Felix or Eclipse.
