Brian,
Thanks for that. I've worked out now how to get the dependencies from the project and dump them into a known location. I now have two further problems, one of which I think is either a bug in my understanding or in the dependency plugin (in the latter case I'll have to work out how to drive the jira). If I specifiy that I want to unpack or copy dependencies and tell the configuration that I want to exclde 'test' scope (since I don't want junit in my applet), I get an error message that excluding scope 'test' excludes everything which *I* think is wrong. Secondly, I actually want to pull out the dependency jars and insert them into the applet I'm trying to build. I can only copy/unpack dependencies to files in the filesystem. Anyone got any clues about how to force that to happen (in an easy and portable way)? Later, Andy ------------- Yada, yada, yada...
