That is what I was hoping to achieve by eliminating the dependencies.

Useful link - it looks like there are more past versions there than on cocoon/covalent. But I'm not sure that this helps here - the jars are not guaranteed to be the "chosen" ones, as far as I can tell. > > Actually, I am about to start work on Gump downloading whole > trees from > other Gumps, but I digress. > > In short, based upon my comments above, you still think that > folks would > want nightly build from Gump? At the moment, JMeter is being enhanced quite frequently, so it would be useful to be able to pick up the latest builds. I suppose one of us (JMeter committers) could do this manually, but I'd rather not...
