[jira] Resolved: (HADOOP-435) Encapsulating startup scripts and jars in a single Jar file.

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-435?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Benjamin Reed resolved HADOOP-435.
----------------------------------

    Resolution: Won't Fix

The encapsulating Jar aspect doesn't seem to be an issue to most people. This should probably be reopened as an issue to redo the hadoop script since that seems to be the direction the issue is heading.

Re-open it if you like.  I don't see why we can't re-work the script as 
a part of this issue.  Otherwise we end up with duplicated logic with no 
guarantee that it will ever be removed.  The script change should be easy.

Just expressing my disappointment that this patch wasn't applied as  
is and then another Jira opened to rework the scripts.  Should have  
spoken up earlier.
