Re: [ jEdit-devel ] Question about releasing

[Jeffrey H. <jc...@gm...>]

Please talk to the current owner of the JakartaCommons plugin to see if it
makes sense. Also, who else is using tar and activation? Oh, and you DID
check the licenses, right?  For a while Sun wouldn't let you redistribute
activation.jar.....

If it does make sense to modify JakartaCommons, you can leave it in CVS if
you want.  The move to SVN is optional.
