[Jprojecttimer-developers] RE: JDOM

Putting a JAR into a "lib" directory in a project that depends on another
library is a common practice.  Check out the newsml-toolkit project or any
of the Jakarta project for examples.

You can definitely incorporate JDOM into your project.   I attached the JDOM
License.txt file.

You'll just need to do the following:

1. Reproduce this: "Copyright (C) 2000-2002 Brett McLaughlin & Jason Hunter.
 All rights reserved."   In your license as a reference to the JDOM.

2. Put the JDOM jar in ./lib

3. Add the JDOM jar without keyword substitution.  Otherwise, you'll end up
with corrupted binary file.  "cvs add -kb"

BTW, I made an Ant build.xml file for the jprojecttimer project.  Right now
it relies on jdom.jar being in the classpath that runs Ant, but if you
included the JAR file then the Ant script could incorporate it into the
classpath when compiling and running the jprojecttimer application.

The JDOM developers also ask that you acknowledge them in your project
documentation.
