For releases, this makes sense, but I think we'll still run into the problem with the documentation JARs. Using Confluence seems preferable for a couple reasons - we wanted to move to a CMS anyways, and, assuming we can host applets in our Wiki pages, it will allow us to work around the SVN issue. Is it possible to upload JAR files to the Wiki (in a similar manner to uploading images, perhaps)? Apologies if there is an obvious answer to this - I don't have a lot of experience with Wikis. Greg
