No, not currently. However, at the end of this message you'll find an updated
lib/README.txt which goes into a little more detail on the usage of each jar.

Committers: any opinions on whether I should commit this updated README? I'm
ambivalent about such a change; however, if it clarifies why Turbine includes
each jar (and not just what each jar is), it may be useful.

The files in this directory are here for your convenience in building
and using Turbine.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
CORE LIBRARIES
==============
These libraries are critical to the basic Turbine functionality and are
required no matter what optional services you use.
* activation-1.0.1.jar
JavaBeans Activation Framework. Required by JavaMail. Part of Java
2 Enterprise Edition.
http://java.sun.com/products/javabeans/glasgow/jaf.html
* ecs-1.3.3.jar
Element Construction Set, used to generate markup (HTML, XML) from
Java code without using print statements.

BUILD TOOLS
===========
These libraries are used when building Turbine and its documentation. These are
not necessary for the operation of Turbine itself.
* stylebook-1.0-b2.jar
A tool for generating pretty html documentation from XML sources
based on Xalan. This is an XSLT processor that generates our
documentation from XML. There is no "official" documentation for
this; it is a simple application of XML/XSL. The link below points
to an explanation for this.
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04415.html
* xalan_1_1_D01.jar
An XSL processor.
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/
* xerces-1.1.3.jar
An XML parser.

TEMPLATE ENGINES
================
These are the template engines supported by Turbine. Obviously, if you plan to
use a particular engine, you must have the appropriate JAR.
* freemarker-jdk1.2.jar
A templating engine.
http://freemarker.sourceforge.net/
* velocity-0.4.jar
A templating engine that will soon replace WebMacro.
http://java.apache.org/velocity/
* webmacro-jdk1.2.jar
A templating engine, soon to be replaced by Velocity.

These JARs are used in optional services and are not not necessary for the
default operation of Turbine itself.
* castor-0.8.2.jar

mapping engine.
