Re: [rt-pmc] Third party libs usage policies

[Christian Campo <christian.campo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am not an expert in IP stuff but isnt that the „natural“ thing to submit
a CQ for Smack version 4.x and then once that is approved, include it. I
think I am missing a point because that sounds so obvious. (but dont have
to have a new CQ for each and every new version of any 3rd party lib ?)

Are you asking whether you can pull the Smack API from Maven Central in
your build process ? (I have no idea if that is the question)
