Just had a look at the Ant binary optional.jar. It's got everything but
the kitchen sink, including the junit stuff.
That's what I said: they compile in everything officially
supported. That's why we run with a customized ant.jar for
some time.
Would Maven cover the Jimi/JAI/Crypto stuff for us?
I have no idea. We might get the LotBC stuff into the
Maven repo, but downloading Jimi requires accepting a
license, and JAI requires downloading a platform
specific distro and running a native installer with
all kind of whistles an bells (in particular, possibly
requiring root/Admin rights).
We can, of course, resort do manual download+install and
simply check presence. This should work well with JAI.
Jimi is ... more complicated, because it's just a jar,
which wont fit the Maven repository. Maybe the old default
location of <fop-base-dir>/lib is still the best.
For detecting Jimi/JAI/whatever, we have to supply
some sort of Maven plugin, perhaps a Jelly script.
Anybody out there with enough time at hand and willing
to dive deeper into this?
