Re: [Jdbm-developer] Dependencies on org.CognitiveWeb.extser package

[Alex B. <boi...@in...>]

Just thinking out loud but what about importing all the classes from the
extser package into JDBM's repository?   (We could optionally rename the
packages so it looks more coherent).

Separately, there's the issue of having a dependency on code with a
different license, which does not make it any easier to "consume" JDBM.
