You don't retrieve precompiled stuff. The logic is:

a) don't include the dependency at all

b) include the dependency

b.1) build it from source

b.2) use the precompiled version in the system (this switch is only for
external packagers, the builds are release with no system [configurable]
dependencies).


Regards
I am still a little confused. Obviously it is possible to build from source but as a lot of email on the list have shown it could cause issues with the build that is not directly related to the AOO code. Why not just retrieve the jar so the build is inclusive? Wouldn't leaving it out allow someone to build with a version that is not fully tested? I am new to this type of development, so any clarification would be most helpful. I am used to retrieving compiled jars on the projects I worked on, in Java there is maven and ivy to retrieve specific version of the jar that the project is tested on along with the dependencies.
