As said it's not a bad idea per se, it's just the extra work and the fact
that probably
there is someone else out there that wants the .war like it is today, if
that happens
we would get going in circles.
If I can dream one thing that I'd like to see is some sort of "GS custom
assembler"
tool, where you can choose the version of GS, cherry pick the extensions you
want,
decide what kind of data dir and wham, you get the .war ready to go.
It cannot be an online tool, nobody with a single server has enough bandwith
to manage
the download rate such a thing would generate, but a desktop/command line
tool might
be the thing, caching the artifacts on disk for easy rebuilding, asking you
to point to
the extra jars that cannot be redistributed....
Time is tyrant... too much stuff to do, too little time.
Maybe someone will pick the idea up
Cheers
Andrea

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
sense of it. IT sense. And common sense.
