Currently with OpenJPA, we ship with the following jars in the lib/
directory:
* commons-lang-2.1.jar
* commons-collections-3.2.jar
* geronimo-jta_1.0.1B_spec-1.0.1.jar
* geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.0.jar
* geronimo-j2ee-connector_1.5_spec-1.0.1.jar
* serp-1.11.0.jar
- commons-logging-1.0.4.jar (used only in CommonsLogFactory when
logging is configured to use commons)
- commons-pool-1.3.jar (used only in TCPRemoteCommitProvider for
distributed data caching)
- geronimo-jms_1.1_spec-1.0.1.jar (used only in
JMSRemoteCommitProvider for distributed data caching)
- derby-10.2.2.0.jar (provided only as a convenience for getting
started with the examples quickly)
The jars marked with stars (*) are the only ones that are actually
required for OpenJPA to function in the common cases (the examples
included in the distribution all run if you have just the starred
libraries + derby).
My question: should we differentiate between the required libraries
and the optional ones (perhaps by putting them in an /optional/
directory or something)? Does anyone have experience with how this is
done with other Apache projects?
