I mean that if we all start offering our JARs as a separate download, like Lucene and some others are doing, then people who need these JARs can get them without downloading the entire distribution. Once that happens, someone could build an automated process on top of that. Or, even without an automated process, you can just provide a hyperlink to the download direcory and let people choose whether they want the JAR or the distribution. Right now, most often, you have to download a 3mb archive just to get a 150kb JAR. I'm just thinking of doing a page about "How to make a Jakarta release", and thought we might suggest this as a convention. If we start suggesting this now, then by the time we get through the next release cycle, we would all have JARs out where an automated process can get at them.
