We are already using Jar files. They are generated by the ant-build-system. I don’t think there’s any way around using them, because that’s the format everybody uses. You just add a jar to the CLASSPATH to let java find it. The format is like Zip, but with an additional manifest. -- Ricardo GPG: BCA6 89B6 3655 3801 C3C6 2150 197A 5888 235F ACAC https://elephly.net
