> Key: OPENJPA-1459
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OPENJPA-1459
> Project: OpenJPA
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build / infrastructure
> Affects Versions: 1.2.3, 1.3.0, 2.0.0
> Reporter: Michael Dick
> Assignee: Michael Dick
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 2.2.3
>
>
> Per Kevin's comment in the OpenJPA 1.2.2 release vote [1] our binary
> distribution contains a large amount of documentation files (roughly 90% of
> the archive is docs). Kevin posed the question of whether other Apache
> projects include docs in their distributions.
> So I took a random (and small) sampling :
> * HTTPServer only delivers binaries for Windows as a .msi file - I'm not sure
> whether the docs are included there or not.
> * Ant 1.8.0-RC1 includes documentation in the binary distribution.
> * Derby 10.5.3.0 includes documentation in the binary distribution
> * OpenEJB 3.1.2 does not include documentation in the binary distribution
> The results don't show a clear trend (maybe a larger sample size would reveal
> one), but it looks like we have leeway here to include or omit documentation
> in our releases.
> Also FWIW OpenEJB and Derby's binary distributions are roughly the same size
> as OpenJPA 1.2.2 (around 18MB), Ant is a bit smaller (around 7 MB).
> Removing all docs would put the size around 5.8 MB, removing just the javadoc
> (the larger portion of documentation) puts the size around 11 MB.
