Description

You have bundled Spring Framework classes in apacheds-main-0.9.2.jar which makes Apache DS incompatible with Spring 2.0 M1. Suggested fix is to remove the bundled classes from apacheds-main-0.9.2.jar and depend on Spring jar files instead.

And if removing classes is unacceptable, then you absolutely must rename the org.springframework package to something else. Otherwise you're blocking upgrade path for Apache DS users.

We are currently using Spring, but plan to change it soon.

[Pekka Enberg]

Ok. Please note that you're also bunding commons collections, commons lang, and bunch of other classes which is just begging for trouble.

[Emmanuel Lecharny]

Yes, this is not very cool... We are currently working on a brand new build system, and this will imply a new packaging.

Thanks for reporting this warning, it reminds us to be carefull !

I have modified the status from BUG to IMPROVMENT.

We still have to find a way to deal with such dependencies.

Main jar no longer is an uber jar. If you need a different version of spring just build your own uberjar with modified spring deps from the source.
