[infinispan-dev] Practical example of difficulties with dependencies

[Sanne Grinovero]

Since we recently discussed the purpose of the "UberJar"s , I think it
would be a great exercise to look at this discussion:
 - https://developer.jboss.org/message/953081

and ask ourselves what we could have done to make the first steps of
this new user less miserable.

Personally I think we could go a long way with some clear
documentation about our dependencies;
it's not hard to inject version properties from the pom files into the
docs, so we could have a little reminder about - for example - which
version of Hibernate is expected to have the JPACacheStore working.

Also, I think it's clear that uber jars - at least in this case - are
not even close to the solution, unless you intend to include all of
Hibernate ORM and transitive dependencies..

Thanks,
Sanne
