I'm not sure a centralized storage model for libraries is such a good idea. It's been my experience that many java apps are shipped with old, outdated or incompatible "support" jar files (old versions of xalan or some such). In addition to this, I've even seen jars shipped which contain the contents of 4 or five other jars inside (several of which were old)!. I'm afraid centralized storage of java libs might lead to a "jarfile hell" situation. Perhaps a versioned approach could be developed (similar to .so links). my $.02 cheers, -mcclain On Friday 10 May 2002 08:11 am, Ernst de Haan wrote: > Hi all, > > Please review the following proposal for standardising Java library > installation directories: > > http://people.freebsd.org/~znerd/javalibdirs.html > > Kind regards, > > Ernst > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
