Comments for measuring project size


Thats just bad project management. They need to improve their build. Maven can work nicely for this. Every jar is stored in your local repository once.
well, I might not dissagree with you that it could be handled better, but in my experience with large java projects, this is absolutely the rule and not the exception.

As for maven...we need to tack something else onto ant (which, of course is it's own fun configuration barrel of laughs) to make builds? Oy.

It's enough to make one crawl back into the warm arms of autoconf.
