Jonathon,

The only jars that we put into the distro are those that are necessary to run jetty. All the other jars that we have that might be useful can always be obtained from the central maven repo - we'd rather not clutter up the distro with those. However, can you explain your particular usecase? There may be a reason for us to reevaluate our policy on which jars go into the distro ...

thanks
Jan
Comment 2 Jan Bartel CLA 2012-08-02 02:39:56 EDT 
As previously commented, we only want to put jars into the distro that are relevant to running jetty, and the others are always downloadable from the maven central repo. As no counter-argument has been forthcoming, we'll continue with this policy.
