I didn't know Jpackage.org so far, but from my first impression gc-rr is somewhat different. The first version was thought as a replacement for the dependency management of maven - you could see it as a better version of the Ant "get" - task. The current version already has some more features. AFAICS jpackage.org is linux-only (or RPM based systems only) -- am I right here? gc-rr is platform independent. This example (written by Rene) shows how to run an application which depends on 2 libraries - maybe that makes it a little bit clearer how rr works: http://dev.guglhupf.net/commons/rr/example.html > -Archie > > __________________________________________________________________________ > Archie Cobbs * CTO, Awarix * http://www.awarix.com -- David Tanzer, Haghofstr. 29, A-3352 St. Peter/Au, Austria/Europe http://deltalabs.at -- http://dev.guglhupf.net -- http://guglhupf.net My PGP Public Key: http://guglhupf.net/david/david.asc -- Pinky, Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?
