What are the jars for? It looks very weird in the age of Maven, doesn't it? ;)

I'm glad I could've met your expectations ;-)

If there were a JIRA item I'd be willing to look into it in a near
future ;) Would you care to open one with a descriptive note about
what's broken and why the jars are there?

I was waiting for you to comment :-) Yes it is ugly and should be 
reworked to use Maven.

Yesterday I discovered that the JIRA link on the geronimo web page was 
broken.  I thought, oh, that will only take me 5 mins to fix...  For 
some reason simple things always turn into something complicated..

When I went to check in the html files generated by velocity I found 
that they had both crlfs and lfs causing a checkin of the files to fail 
with an error saying the file has inconsistent line endings ( I am on 
Windows xp).

After further digging there was a bug in velocity that was fixed in the 
current development version (we were using an old 1.5 dev version) that 
has some additional dependency requirements.  So I updated the lib dir 
with the mandatory dependencies according the the dependencies doco in 
the velocity development version.  I got some class not found exceptions 
before I added the dependencies, so some new ones have been introduced.

Much time was spent chasing this and I didn't have the time to throw 
maven into the mix as well just to get a broken link on the site working :-)

Regards,

John
