Re: [udig-devel] Version of geotools in sdk 1.3.1

[Jody Garnett <Jody.Garnett@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Summary of IRC conversation with Frank:

Frank has many ideas of how we can "break up" libs; and make use of a "p2 repository" to depend properly on a few of the jars we are currently including in uDig.

The udig_language feature demonstrates how this can be done at a technical level.
- it shows how to configure maven to download from the babel p2 repository; for the maven command line build
- And has instructions on how to download the jars for inclusion in the "dropins" folder we package up

The big picture would be to:
- org.geotools-8.0.0.timestamp (we will use a timestamp here as a stand in for M0, M1, RC1 etc...)
- have org.geotools-8.0.0.timestamp depend on bundles for apache commons etc...

Guidelines:
- we would like to download the bundled jars; rather then commit them into our version control

Did I get all that right Frank?
