In a word, probably. It is mostly done this way (I assume) for convenience. There's nothing to stop you doing this for yourself; if you want it self-managed, then you already know what to do. My expectation is that if we stopped shipping any JARs we'd get a rather significant backlash. Jim ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
