Re: [Webwork-devel] RE: Refactorings... Again

[Matt B. <ma...@sm...>]

The main idea/hope was to allow releases of individual view jar (it would
contain everything minus the other views). This would, for instance, allow a
velocity release without waiting on taglib, etc. But, I think it is best to
leave it as is now. I have finished fixing/testing everything except
Velocity. I will try and get on that tomorrow unless someone wants to beat
me to it :). I will post everything shortly. The only package change in main
was view and examples. The major change was on the web side and just basic
cleanup dist, build.
