I don't necessarily want to change our directory structure. We've talked about "Mavenizing" in the past, and no one seemed strongly inclined to do so. I'd prefer to simply generate the additional JARs and include them in our binary distribution.

Hi Greg,
if i remember well, NetBeans, from 6.0 is able to do this, so for
example i can have the monster jdk-6u10-docs.zip (approx. 57 MB)
inside the JDK dir, but without unzipping it.

And also Eclipse should use it ...


For the naming convention of these jars, maybe we could follow as much
as possible the maven way, but keeping them in different dirs, to
avoid confusion.

So we could have a bin (or lib dir) for all binary jars, related
dependencies (in subdirs, etc), a src (or lib-src dir) for all source
artifacts, doc for javadocs, etc ...
For demos, tutorials (and maybe the old Started, maybe revised for a
new version) we could think at something like the others, or if
package their source and docs inside the "main". source and docs dir,
and keep their binary in dedicated dirs.

What do you think ?

Byeeee
