Are there other comments > on this? ## I definitely need to work on my writing skills. Actually, it isn't the fact that the tests are in the jar file that's bothering me. In the broadband age, what's another couple megabytes? If something would bother me with the test classes being in the jar, it would be because they don't work without the test files which are not bundled in the jar. Anyways, what I really wanted, is the test sources in a different directory. It's more of a philosophical issue for me, I guess. The other ASF projects I've messed with (Tomcat, Struts, Maven, Commons, etc.) all have separate source trees for the product and the tests. I might just have to get used to it. (Believe me, it took me quite a while to get used to the "Brackets should begin and end on a new line." coding standard. ;)) Best regards, -- Shinobu Kawai -- Shinobu Kawai <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
