Gosh, Sam, I just wanted somebody to tell me what to do, not make me think... I don't know if we'll convince the nsUML folks to roll back to the old version. From the traffic on the list, this is my interpretation of nsUML's state: 1) The HEAD version does have some early adopters. 2) The HEAD version is nonetheless incomplete. 3) The project is spinning toward inactivity. Not the best state for your dependencies. I've taken a look at the source code for nsUML, and I really don't want to go swimming in that pool. However I do want graph to build, so that Maven will build and I may someday spend a whole day without running the bootstrap. Let's say "theoretically" ;) that I wanted to use a fixed version of nsUML for the time being. What would I do? Or is this solution unjustifiable? - Morgan ===== Morgan Delagrange http://jakarta.apache.org/taglibs http://jakarta.apache.org/commons http://axion.tigris.org http://jakarta.apache.org/watchdog __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
