[Springframework-developer] Another Spring positive reference.....

Agree - especially with packages like collections and beanutils being so
standard, it creates a lot of resistance to pulling down a project and
giving it a quick trial run. I appreciate the Spring approach
<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=73357>  - one version
with all dependencies and one without. At the very least, it would be useful
if projects released with a list of URLs for the JARs (either online or in
the installation notes). 

Still, it makes me wonder if there's a need for a project like the linux
dependency managers, which would go and fetch all the jars you need. That
would make a sweet Ant task. I haven't seen anything like that, though I
recall the perl CPAN module can handle it. The problem is there's no
protocol for specifying version dependencies in JAR files.
