[Rss-desk-development] Re: talking about the build

[clay g. <cg...@ne...>]

Sorry Dmitry,

I only saw one mailing list on sourceforge, because it didn't have the
the folder on it I missed it. My fault completly. 

>distribution of servlet.jar is not very good idea :)

can I get some idea of where you are coming from with this? It seems as
though rss-desk distributes much of commons. It isn't like the api will
change any time soon, and there are many distributions of this that are
entirly open source. Maybe you can help me learn something by your line
of reasoning. My only concern is that you require the end developer to
make configurations. It has always been my understanding that *if
possible* builds and thier dependencies should always be relative.
Remember it is only in the project for *build* purposes, it wouldn't be
distributed in the WEB-INF/lib dir of the WAR.

Secondly a war build would provide a simple way for developers to test
thier builds in a single integrated package. It also seems that the TLD
should be part of the build, maybe I am missing something but I couldn't
find it in the distribution and had to build one from scratch. I think
it would help developers if they didn't have to jump through these
hoops.

That's why I warned you about collaboration, I think I can be a
signifigant contributor, but I generally am pretty involved in design. I
have sun j2ee architecture and web developer certification and I have
alot to offer so that means that I like to work through problems with
analytical discussions.

Like I said before, if this type of collaboration is something you don't
want that is totally ok. I am more than happy to leave you alone. I just
thought it would be better if lots of smart people work together.
