Hi,
Re: http://community.jboss.org/message/548002#548002
This is the 2nd time I've seen people having issues with the single jar zip file.
What's the aim of it?
To provide a single jar which people can include in their classpath rather than a set of
jars which include Infinispan classes, dependencies, etc.
People using it have generally been trying to simply get started with
core Infinispan jar and its dependencies, nothing else. When they look at the single jar
and all the dependencies in lib/, they seem quite baffled and have issues as in the case
above.
I think -bin.zip and -all.zip should be enough.
Maybe we should create a poll on this?
+1. So far under 10% of the downloads have been this single-jar archive (not counting
usage via Maven, of course, which would use finer-grained jars).
If folks don't mind getting rid of this, I'm all for it.
Cheers
Manik
