Huh?   Then the binary distibution wouldn't work.  That's silly.  Users 
should be able to download this, unpack it, and run the samples and 
stuff to see it working without tramping all over the internet to find 
jars and stuff.  If you install MS office on your machine, do you then 
have to go off and find the spell checker, the thesauras, etc...?

Fixed on trunk.  Good catch.  I must have looked at that several times 
and it never triggered my brain.  Must be getting old... :-(

Why?

This was discussed on legal-discuss and no objections raised.

Well.  It's automatically generated from the information the other 
projects provide.  As long as Jakarta/commons keep providing 
crap.........   
Seriously, if the poms say they came from jakarta, the versions we are 
using probably are the jakarta versions.   See Davids response at:

I'll wait and respond to any of this once the other thread concludes.

Thanks for the script. I'll have to figure out how to get it to apply 
without breaking the merges from trunk.   Probably will run on trunk 
(which is slightly different) and svnmerge out to the branches.  I'll 
have to experiment a bit.   Anyway, thanks for that.
