-----------------------------------
Boy that was some bad typing. Let me try again:
That will work perfectly. This issue is just about communication. We want to let people
know what libraries Seam depends on. Since Maven 2 is designed to give that report, we
have a winner.
I just want to clarify that this issue is important for various Sarbanes-Oxley related
initiatives. It is also important to help developers and sysadmins to reconcile
dependencies on libraries already used by projects. They should not have to extract jar
files and reverse engineer them. The initiative to integrate Maven 2 dependencies was a
very important one to satisfy all of these needs.
Add the Ant target and we can close off this issue.
include jar-versions.xml file

Key: JBSEAM-1532
URL:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBSEAM-1532
Project: JBoss Seam
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Documentation
Affects Versions: 1.3.0.ALPHA
Environment: seam CVS HEAD
Reporter: Dan Allen
Priority: Minor
Original Estimate: 4 hours
Remaining Estimate: 4 hours
It would be so helpful if a jar-versions.xml file could be kept up to date in the root of
the seam source code to track the versions of the bundle libraries, in the absence of
other solutions. This idea comes from the JBoss AS, which uses this file to communicate
the versions of libraries used.
Documenting the versions helps:
1. developers, who may find challenge in combining APIs of libraries without knowing the
version
2. users who are unable to determine the contents of what they downloaded
3. for legal reasons, just in case there are differences in licenses amongst releases of
third party products, to protect seam itself as well as integrators of seam.
With all that said, the better solution is to use ant-ivy or maven2 to get the jar files
out of the source code. But I digress.
