See the list for how many users complain already now about the *size* of some of those components. Obviously these are often people from the J2ME camp or people dealing with applets. OTOH if a look at my last bigger app and the proposed list, I find only two of the packages, that I did not use. The problem with providing a combined jar of all and separated ones are again the dependencies, that will be a real mess then. - Jörg --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
