It's an enterprise app that I was trying to create a project around, and the
following is what makes it to such a large number:
- Include all the jars required for the servlet API and other things that a
webapp would typically use [servlet.xx.jar, activation.jar, mail.jar, etc.]
- Many of the apache commons jars [this could be in double digits]
- Lucene related jars
- POI related jars
- PDF generation related jars
- Velocity jars
- Specific app generated jars, from an another compilation unir
- Spring
- ACEGI
- JSON
- AJAX support jars [DWR, etc.]
- Tomcat specific jars for JSP compilation
- Some custom ant tasks
- xUnit jars
- etc. [this could go for a while]

It sure looks like a rant now :)

Regards

Amarjeet
