Licenses and redistribution rights of WAR files

Thanks for the feedback.

Looking at that list, and what is in the WAR file created Sun Studio Creator Update 1 there seems to be one obvious set of differences:

My WAR file contains -

rave-activation.jar

rave-jaxp-api.jar

rave-jax-qname.jar

rave-jaxrpc-api.jar

rave-jaxrpc-impl.jar

rave-jaxrpc-spi.jar

rave-mail.jar

rave-relaxngDatatype.jar

rave-saaj-api.jar

rave-saaj-impl.jar

So do I need to replace all of these for things like mail.jar, jax-qname.jar etc?

That's not our intention. We want the Creator projects to create war files which are freely usable.

Ian, just discard the `rave-' prefix and you will find most of the files on the list. The prefix was needed for some of them because we needed different versions for the IDE itself and the projects which are built. Apparently the Ant `copy' does not do a good job in renaming those files back to their original names:-(

I don't know why the jaxp-api.jar is missing, it's the normal RI?

I'll ask our program management and web content team to update the list.

Sorry for the confusion.

Thanks,

Marco,

Instead of discarding manually the rave preffix It would be more correct that Sun includes the files in the distribution list.

It would be nice to edit the license aggreement so that it more clearly sais what is allowed and what is not. Developers should not have to make big effort in order to find if there is any catch.
