I think the difference is that by saying "get junit:junit:4.10 to build this" we put the burden on our users to make sure they get the right bits, either by building them themselves from the junit sources, or trusting whoever provides them. By shipping those bits ourselves instead, we would take the responsibility on our shoulders, which we don't want. -Bertrand --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: general-unsubscr...@incubator.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: general-h...@incubator.apache.org
