I was surprised to see a large subset of the jars in the SDO binary distribution duplicated within the samples distribution. This seems redundant given that I (and presumably most SDO users) will have not only downloaded the samples but also downloaded the full set of SDO jars in the binary distribution.
An alternative that seems more logical and convenient would be for the samples distribution to contain only the samples, in a directory structure that can be overlaid on the directory structure produced by the unzipped SDO binary distribution. So users who want both the binary distribution and the samples would create a target directory, unzip the binary disitrbution into that directory, and then unzip the samples distribution into the same directory. I was also surprised that there is javadoc in the samples distribution but no javadoc (or documentation of any kind) in the binary distribution. I was expecting the binary distribution to be an SDK for SDO users (application developers), containing javadoc for the SDO APIs together with other developer documentation (e.g., how to run XSD2JavaGenerator). It seems undesirable to require developers to have internet connectivity in order to access this documentation. Simon kelvin goodson wrote:
I have made available an RC2 release candidate for SDO for Java at http://people.apache.org/~kelvingoodson/sdo_java/RC2/ The main differences from RC1a are Tuscany JIRAs 115 and 755 are fixed The source distribution has been split (re-split) into specification and implementation archives after discussion on the tuscany-dev mailing list The samples are distributed as a separate standalone archive containing sample source code, java doc and all required binary artifacts. The EMF dependency jar is now the non-snapshot 2.2.1 version. Best Regards, Kelvin.
