Correct me if i'm wrong, but LogKit is NOT required by Velocity. Some logging package which can be accessed through Commons-Logging must be present, but there is no specific requirement on LogKit. Log4J, or JDK 1.4 logger, or even no log package (in which case it will use the built in SimpleLogger) can be used.

We do this to allow you to use whatever version of collections, logkit, etc that you wish w/o fear of collision. These jars are included in the distribution, in the build/lib directory, or at the respective project sites. ===== It's not clear from skimming the 1.4 docs which minimum/tested versions of the jar files are needed or what additional jar files are needed. I'd also recommend that "Velocity, such as" be replaced with "Velocity, which are" as the first suggests that "these, and more" are required, while the second explicitly states that "these, and only these" are needed. In fact, here's my suggested rewrite [?no idea? needs to be replaced with the minimum version of ORO]: ===== 1) velocity-<version>.jar : The Velocity jar that does not include any external dependencies needed by Velocity, which are the jakarta-commons-collection classes (commons-collections.jar -- 2.1 or higher), Jakarta Avalon Logkit (logkit-1.0.1.jar or higher), and Jakarta ORO (oro.jar -- ?no idea? or higher). We do this to allow you to use whatever version of collections, logkit, etc that you wish w/o fear of collision. These jars are included in the distribution, in the build/lib directory, or at the respective project sites. ===== --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
