Hi All,
 
just reading the blocks.properties file and I see there are a lot of dependencies among the blocks. It's hard to find out what blocks to build if I want to do a minimal build for using a specific block.
 
Isn't it possible to create some sort of xml-file "block-dependencies.xml" that lists all dependencies.  That way a stylesheet could be created that generates some sort of visual representation (e.g. in SVG).  E.g. :
 
<blockdependencies>
  <block name="databases">
    <dependency>xsp</dependency>
  </block>
  <block name="hsqldb">
    <dependency>databases</dependency>
  </block>
  <block name="jms">
    <dependency>databases</dependency>
    <dependency>hsqldb</dependency>
  </block>
  <block name="ojb">
    <dependency>databases</dependency>
    <dependency>hsqldb</dependency>
  </block>
  <block name="petstore">
    <dependency>hsqldb</dependency>
  </block>
</blockdependencies>
