Re: Dependency against ant



Hi,

The bzip2 code from Ant has been factored out as a separate library recently (Commons Compress). You may try to switch to it.

Hi all.

A Java package I'm working on (osmosis) uses some bzip2 embedded code
copy (less than 10 classes) from the ant project (classes
org.apache.tools.bzip2.*): if I want to avoid embedded code copies, I
need to make osmosis depend on ant, forcing the user to have a whole
copy of ant (and its dependencies) installed.

Should I depend on ant anyway, or can I just leave the embedded copy, in
order to have lighter dependencies?

Thanks, Giovanni.
