I may add as well:
* enforcing the "well-documented classpath" bit of the policy (ie,
enforce the requirements for jars to hold a manifest with the
classpath). I know that several of "my" packages don't follow this,
and it's something I'll try to fix.
This would allow:
* to have java-wrappers automatically follow classpaths
* and, most importantly, to really know what a package depends on,
to ease transitions.
Just a thought in the wind, but it's something I will hopefully have
some time to tackle in March/April.
Cheers,
Vincent
