| Re: [smila-dev] Distribution DBXML |

This is the ideal approach. If it makes sense (technically and time
wise) you would put an insulating layer between you and these
libraries. Then people can plug in whatever implementation of the XML
DB support they need/want. your project can supply some number as
appropriate. Note, leaving it to the user to download something works IF that thing is somehow optional. If it is a required part of your function (i.e., your system does now work without this other lib) then you will be deemed to have distributed it and have the same CQ issues. This is a somewhat gray area that needs to be dealt with on a case by case basis. Jeff p.s., It is great to see this kind of discussion going on in an open and transparent way.

The idea was just to include it to be able to provide a SMILA distribution for demos that works out of the box if we cannot include Berkeley DB in an Eclipse download. For big projects it should still be possible to replace Xindice by a more performance DB (i.e. Berkeley), and the bundles for this could be downloaded from another source.

If binary libraries are problem itself, I think we could require to install berkeley dbxml separately (at lease for the initial version), anyway we still need java interface for these libraries (probably can be installed separately too) Juergen.Schumacher@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote:Hi, There is an XML database by Apache named Xindice, http://xml.apache.org/xindice/index.html. The lib directory of the download looks quite harmless. Could it work as an replacement? Maybe somebody can have a look at this who knows which features are needed.

What do you think, what we should do, We can separate it from our main distribution but smila need a xml database...
