The build scripts *ought* to use the sources in preference if they're available, so it shouldn't make any difference if the jar is in CVS. Sure, you have to remember to checkout/update the xjavadoc module from CVS (or use xdoclet-all), but if we remove the jar from xdoclet/lib you'll still have to remember to do so...

Besides, are they separate modules or not? XDoclet depends on commons-logging/log4j too, yet no-one's suggested we should remove those jars from xdoclet/lib. If xjavadoc's a separate component, should it be handled any differently just because we also maintain it? Else, if xdoclet & xjavadoc are so tightly tied together, they might as well just be in a single source tree instead.

How do things stand with migrating the build process to Maven? And will that improve things any in this respect, or are we going to have similar issues with having to update xjavadoc.jar in the maven repository every time something changes in it?

+1

But make sure the build process still works.
