Description

This include these "subtasks"

1. make sure all jar files are marked as binary
2. make sure they are listed properly in LICENSE (and if required NOTICE) file
3. make sure we are running stable versions and not snapshots (whenever possible)
4. upgrade jars to use latest versions (whenever possible)
5. remove jars no more needed
6. rename old jars to add release numbers in the file name

What's remain today:

• jython-nooro.jar : it's only used by SeleniumXml and we should get rid of it when SeleniumXml will be also thrown out
• httpunit.jar updated at r1328918, see comment there
• mail.jar renamed at r1329565, see comment there
• nekohtml.jar renamed at r1343038 see comment there
• Tidy.jar have been moved to Attic (duplicated in Birt. I think we can get rid of it: maybe it was used when we showed the W3 complianec button. Birt will be in Extra)
• flute.jar is related to Birt so will be also moved to Extra: don't rename
• jaxrpc.jar is related to Birt so will be also moved to Extra: don't rename
• js.jar is related to Birt so will be also moved to Extra: don't rename
• saaj.jar is related to Birt so will be also moved to Extra: don't rename
• viewservlets.jar is related to Birt so will be also moved to Extra: don't rename
• ofbiz-minerva.jar Moved to Attic with XAPool at r1356471
• axis-1.4.jar Still used by, and only by, the specialpurpose crowd component. Looks like all that should be moved to Extra...
• selenium-java-client-driver.jar: it's only used by SeleniumXml and we got rid of it when SeleniumXml was thrown out
• javacc.jar is needed by the building process. Also found a note from Marco: Upgrade javacc to 5.0 version, the javacc.jar must having only this name: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=1076756&view=rev)
• jcl.jar version is hard to trace (part of a jars bundle jcl2.3.0-RC3.zip, we use also jpos18-controls.jar and IIRW should better stay with it so don't rename jcl.jar unless sure.
• \specialpurpose\ebaystore\lib attributes.jar ebaycalls.jar ebaysdkcore.jar helper.jar: they will go in Extra, one worry less
• ofbiz-tools.jar must stay as is
• derbytools*.jar and ij.sh have been moved to Attic
