It seems like the build process of Tomcat was to include some extra jars that would go elsewhere in the binary release of Tomcat. But not something that would be a build time dependency. Is that not the case? Are you just trying to get another Apache project to be released in conjunction with Tomcat? Sorry, just not clear because there were comments about build time dependencies. And it was being brought up as part of another release of Tomcat. So I understood it to be another jar being included with Tomcat that is presently, not, and was in the past. I have gone and re-read the entire thread several times. Like the original comment that brought it all up "oh, and can we have the JULI with support for commons-logging built as part of the standard build?" Is that talking about the build of Tomcat? or build of another application? Because the follow up talks about keeping deps to a min, and a no nonsense build system for Tomcat. With the response, "That doesn't mean that the JAR has to be in the lib directory, all I'm asking is that it is generated during our releases" Which I assume to be Tomcat's lib directory. And the jar would go in another directory. I assume the extras.xml is a build file that will be part of Tomcat's build system? So I am mighty confused as to the discussion being about building other packages, that won't be bundled nor a dependency. The dependency part is clear. The won't be bundled, and building other packages is not clear. Will they be a separate bundle or download? Like the old embedded, compat stuff, etc. Sorry if all this is obvious and the plane is just flying over my head ;) -- William L. Thomson Jr. Gentoo/Java
