Will fscontext and providerutil jars be available for automatic download?

Hi Bill,

The JDO development team is wondering of fscontext.jar and 
providerutil.jar will be available for automatic download using maven 
dependency mechanism. We would like to simplify the install for the JDO 
2.1 maintenance release in several months. Currently we instruct users 
to manually download the files.

Thanks,
Michelle

I don't maintain JNDI.  You need to find the owner of JNDI in Sun.
Janet will probably know.

Since JNDI is part of Java SE, anything that would be done in this space
is probably dependent on the Java SE open source plans.

Hi Bill,

fscontext.jar includes a "File System Service Provider for JNDI"; it 
supports the JNDI features for a local or networked file system. The jar 
providerutils.jar includes utilities used by service provider. You can 
get it from Sun's JNDI Downloads page: 
http://java.sun.com/products/jndi/downloads/index.html. You need to 
click 'Download JNDI 1.2.1 & More', accept the license agreement and 
then download 'File System Service Provider, 1.2 Beta 3'. The zip 
fscontext-1_2-beta3.zip includes fscontext.jat and providerutil.jar.

JDO supports finding a PersistenceManagerFactory via JNDI. The TCK uses 
the above implementation to test the JNDI related APIs. Today a TCK user 
has to manually download the jars and copy them to a specific directory 
in the TCK. It would improve usability if we could define a regular 
maven dependency such that maven automatically downloads the jars.

Thanks!

Regards Michael

Sorry, I don't know what those files are.
