Sorry, one additional thought. :-) It may be that embedding the version number in the file name of a single-JAR library makes sense. However, Pivot is already composed of multiple JARs, and may grow to include more in the future. For this reason alone, I'd suggest that it makes more sense to apply a directory-based versioning strategy to Pivot.
And that really is the last I'll say on this. :-) On Friday, March 27, 2009, at 01:04PM, "Greg Brown" <[email protected]> wrote: >>Tomcat's an application, not a library, so their requirements are very >>different. > >I might argue that Tomcat and Pivot are both platforms - one is for running >applications on a server, the other on the client.
