Re: [eclipselink-users] Annotations-only jar?

[Tom Ware <tom.ware@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Laird,

  With enough user feedback about its usefulness, we would consider adding an 
annotations-only file.  A good way to start is to add an enhancement request to 
bugzilla and vote for it.  Please prepend the string [Build] to the subject line 
of the enhancement request.

  You are right, we should adjust our maven dependencies to depend on core, not 
only for JPA, but also for our MOXy and SDO components.  Please enter a bug and 
prepend the subject line with [Build]
