2) If you don't mind I would stay clear of bundling the JARs - I can add
a goal to the Maven build to copy all dependent JARs into a directory
and I can also provide the same magic using ANT (with a little bit more
work ouf course but there was reason why Maven was invented)



I know absolutely nothing about Maven, but AFAIK it is a developer tool
and not for being used by the end user. In other words, I'd still recommend
that these jar files are being added to the binary distribution. If
you feel, you
are able to do this with Ant, fine for me.


Well, ANT is a development tool as well ... :-). Thinking along these lines we should add the JARs to the binary distribution




4) I hate to say it but for we need JUnit tests for applied patches. I
have no intention to run an OS project differently from my commercial
projects ... ;-)



Are you referring to any particular case or patch?


No, but I'm not too familiar with the XMLRPC code and on the other hand concerned about the software quality in the long run. Keeping the test coverage to a reasonable degree is a constant struggle and the only way to survive the battle is to add/update a test when the source code is changed.
