Are there really enough people doing this to make it worthwhile? I would suggest this be closed as WONTFIX for now, but create a wiki FAQ entry explaining how to modify your build.xml to do it when you need to. BTW Java libraries are covered under java/platform but this is more a request for j2seproject to handle such a special packaging step. In fact j2seproject doesn't currently bundle libs at all so enhancing its future hypothetical bundling logic is not a priority. Our MiG Calendar component would benefit from such a feature. Our "bean property" version is 1.3 MB and our distributable jar is 0.6MB so there are a lot to gain. Simplicity for the users is the keyword here. To me it looks like a very simple thing to add, but I might be wrong about that. Cheers, Mikael Grev If we want to encourage Swing components to be distributed via NetBeans plug- ins, well, two versions of the library is the way Swing developers are advised to do it. Not much of a priority, I think. |
