We use a source jar so that we can repackage the jam classes before putting them inside xbean.jar. This way, if you used JAM in another part of your code, the two usages (XmlBeans' and yours) wouldn't interfere and each could use a different version of JAM. Same story for Piccolo.
Radu -----Original Message----- From: Trevor Harmon [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2005 3:25 PM To: dev@xmlbeans.apache.org Subject: Why jam-0.1.0-src.jar? The README for XmlBeans 2.1.0 states: XmlBeans depends on jam-0.1.0-src.jar [http://annogen.codehaus.org/ JAM] for the extension feature using plain .java files I'm confused by this requirement. Why is a source JAR necessary? Shouldn't annogen-0.1.0.jar be the required file? After all, that's the one with the .class files for the JAM implementation. I'm trying to clear this up so I can write a Fink package description for XmlBeans.
