Nicely put. Apache folks have clearly & unemotionally explained to me that some times it just makes sense for teams to agree to differ, and to work amicably/respectfully, yet apart. Since we have 2 (at least) code bases with different approaches to solving the problem, I think this might be just such a case. It is frustrating that (in this day and age) there isn't a simple solution for managing repositories of jars/artefacts, downloading upon demand and keeping environments healthy. Heck, this stuff isn't rocket science, it just needs to exist & fit openly into user environments. Two are better than none... regards, Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
