I will go farther and say that my observation of projects here at

know better than anyone else how their project might be used or
might fit into other contexts.
OK - I can sort of see your point, despite it being a *gross* over-
generalization.
David is relating his personal experiences and observations. I don't
see where he takes those and makes a generalization across the board.
Partly as a result of these experiences and partly due to the
typically incomprehensible project organization of ant built
projects I have to be MUCH more interested in the subject area of
an ant built project before I will investigate it. For me
JSecurity is just barely edging over into "worth investigating
despite the project organization and build system".
I'm glad that you are interested in investigating JSecurity, even if
it's just edging over the line =)
Don't expect people to want to climb on board the project with these
kinds of responses....
