[Cobertura-devel] cobertura-runtime.jar?

[Mark D. <Mar...@sa...>]

Cobertura currently consists of one jar file, and this jar must be on =
your classpath when instrumenting, running tests, and reporting.  =
However, when you actually run your tests, only one of the packages in =
this jar is used, and the package only requires log4j.

How do people feel about creating a cobertura.jar and a =
cobertura-runtime.jar, where cobertura-runtime.jar contains all the =
classes in the package net.sourceforge.cobertura.coveragedata.  And =
cobertura.jar would contain everything else (ant tasks, instrumenting =
code, reporting code, etc.)

The goal is to make it more clear that asm, ncss, jakarta-oro, etc. are =
not required when running instrumenting code.  I think this would help =
avoid classpath conflicts with ASM.

Good idea?  Bad idea?  Suggestions for better names for the jars?  =
Should the jars include the version number in their name =
("cobertura-1.5.jar")?  Should the runtime jar still use log4j, or =
should we get rid of that dependency?

FYI, I'll be out of town from now until Sunday night.
