You should only import brains:-) Whether somethign is best thougt of as original or derrived depends on context. Others have mentioned 3rd party jar files. Another case is when at least one of the systems to be developed or delivered on doesn't have a working Java instalation and it;s hard to give it one. In that case it can make sense to treat a jar file as (for this project) an original. Similar things can apply to things like images, non plain text documentation etc. As for distributing things by some other mechanism, why set up another system when CVS versioning is usually exactly what you need (so you can always go back and build an older version). -- Mail me as address@hidden _O_ |<
