I agree; we should include xjavadoc.jar in xdoclet/lib, copied/updated 
there during xjavadoc's build but versioned (i.e. update the CVS copy) 
when we do a release of xjavadoc.  Since we currently have xdoclet and 
xdocletgui (and potentially other 3rd party programs) independently 
relying on xjavadoc, we should manage its versions/releases better (which 
means more work for me, dammit :-) )  As for how we then deal with 
changes/fixes to xdoclet that also require changes to xjavadoc, I suggest 
they should use a branch, and merge it back on the following release of 
xjavadoc containing it.

This would still be the case - you wouldn't upload a new xjavadoc.jar 
every time, I'd do it on each xjavadoc release.  The xjavadoc build.xml 
would indeed assume the same folder level, and copy it over into 
xdoclet/lib after building it, so you can still develop xdoclet against 
the current cvs xjavadoc.  The only restriction is that if your changes 
require the xjavadoc changes, and don't work against the current release 
xjavadoc.jar, it should use a branch so as not to break the GUMP builds.

However, we should only worry about any of this once it's stable and 
there's no more integration changes.

Like I said, just my opinion (but similar to what we do at work where we 
have framework sources and application sources maintained separately by 
different development teams).
