I hope the frequency of this question signals the demand and importance! This has recently gotten out of hand on our project. We have 20+ projects, and our common project uses 10+ jars. Now we have to cut-n-paste these 10+ jars in all our project.xmls. And update it whenever a jar changes. It has resulted in so much cut-n-pasting that we now have project.xml containing jars that they don't even use. Anyway, I'm sure everyone is eagerly waiting for this new feature! -Michael Our name has changed. Please update your address book to the following format: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]".
