Well, I totally agree with you, but I don't see how it is possible to do development on them if after each little change you have to redeploy a jar. I just don't see it. If you have some answer to that, I'd go along gladly. If not, I think I'll go for the mmbase-module extension. regards, Ernst > > > Michiel > > > -- > mihxil' http://meeuw.org > nl_NL eo_XX en_US > _______________________________________________ > Developers mailing list > Developers@lists.mmbase.org > http://lists.mmbase.org/mailman/listinfo/developers > > _______________________________________________ Developers mailing list Developers@lists.mmbase.org http://lists.mmbase.org/mailman/listinfo/developers
