Re: [Shoal-Users] Shoal and JXTA dependencies

We try, as much as possible, to match shoal and JXTA releases.
However, due to release schedule mismatches it is not possible to do
so. In addition, in order to limit risk and utilize extensive QA
suites, we have opted to limit the number of JXTA changes for this
upcoming release of shoal.

Also keep in mind all fixes applied to the sailfin trunk are also in the
JXTA main trunk, and it does not preclude you from simply replacing the
jars. The main trunk contains additional changes which are not
significant to Shoal, but general low risk fixes and features.

Subsequent shoal releases should be bound to the next release of JXTA (2.6).
