[excalibur] libraries.properties

[Leo Simons <le...@apache.org>]

Hi gang,

I've slightly modified the excalibur build by creating a 
libraries.properties file pointing at all the various jars. This library 
is now included _before_ the subproject its default.properties. This 
means the library definitions in the subproject default.properties files 
are basically unused now (and their removal is pending). This is a good 
thing, as it reduces the number of locations you have to update when you 
rename a build product from more than a dozen to 2 (libraries.properties 
and depchecker.xml).

I've also started collection the jars used throughout excalibur in the 
single lib dir, also in order to make maintainance easier. Longer term 
I'm thinking about upgrading the depchecker script to download jars and 
be included rather than referenced (like with avalon and avalon-logkit 
cvs), but the cost/benefit ratio drops with a future move to maven in 
mind so I might not bother.

cheers,

- Leo
