Hello,

thank you for your comments.

So far as i understand it now, you develop against your own (also developed) branch
of jxta, so you can include fixes and so on. ok.

=> Do you have plans to release a shoal version against a released version of jxta?

I mean, i am pretty aware of the fact, that when i have access to all my own libraries, that i will
also include my bug fixes to those libraries, as soon as i am aware of them.

But for someone like me who is out there, who includes foreign projects like shoal, it feels awkward,
that i have to add "project specific" jars/libraries (e.g. of your "own" jxta) to make it work, while
on the other hand there are other projects, who might depend on a released version of jxta.

When this happens, i would usually balance it out, by using a released version of project 'shoal' and
project B, which depends on the same version of jxta.

But with a project specific version of jxta, i will never be able to include project B.

Mh.
