I disagree. It should give recommodations on how they should be built, to make it easier for the java developers to maintain the java packages. Consistency reduce the work maintaining packages, and using a common system for building java packages make it easier to improve all java build systems by doing a modification only once, in the build system. But it should probably not be a requirement, to avoid endless flame wars with maintainers who fail to see the gain of standardizing the build system for java packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
