It is only 100k, and it only happens once, but if it will make you happy I have removed it and added a "getlibs" target to the makefile which will download it from freenetproject.org. > The module that coders need to check out to work inside should be light, > contain only the internal source coded needed to build, and be adapted > to maximum convenience toward hacking the code inside. The structure > which you have passed down by royal decree is zero for three. Royal decree? Bullshit. I announced it to the list and the only person who complained about it was you, yet you offered no reasonable alternative that I could see (unless you consider changing every Java developer in the world's mind about how to lay out their code is an alternative). If you have a better suggestion that everyone agrees to let me know and it can be implemented, but if we allowed vague nit-picking to delay every decision then we would never get anywhere. If people want criticism to be considered then it should be offered in the form of a constructive alternative, not rants about what is wrong with the world of Java development.
