JJar

July 3rd, 2004

JJAR promises to be a tool/service that the Java community sorely needs. We are all too familiar with Jar hell.

From the site:

A distributed repository consisting of jars from various projects (which we call packages) as well as version and dependency information about those packages. This logical repository consists of a central main repository, and any number of sub-repositories, each responsible for a given project (or projects.)

A toolset to allow the navigation and fetching from this repository, as well as direct access to repository information, such as project dependencies.

The general idea is that you setup a repository for your jars, including full dependancy information, which then allows you to use the Ant task as noted here

However, I see very little activity on this project. CVS has nothing interesting in over 2 years. Anyone know its status?

I do intend to test it this week, even though it seems inactive. (Probably because of Maven
