Patched / Modified JARs

renspr — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 23:05:13 GMT

Hi all.I'm in the progress of integrating Alfresco in our build system because I want to embed Alfresco in our product. In the Alfresco distribution are some JAR files with the word 'patched' in the filename. These files are acegi-security-0.8.2_patched.jar jooconverter-2.0.0-patched.jar poi

Yes, they are JAR files that we have changed slightly.

The MyFaces library has also been 'patched' i.e. myfaces-impl.jar.

Thanks for your answer.

Just to be sure: is lucene-1.4.3.jar also modified? I would suggest to mark every changed jar file by adding '_patched' to the filename. This would make the task of managing all the dependencies a lot easier when embedding Alfresco in another application and build system.

regards,

Hi

Yes, lucene 1.4.3 is patched. It includes a number of bug fixes.
If you are using the new indexer (1.4 onwards by default or 1.3 by configuration) it would be possible to use the standard 1.4.3 jar BUT there would be a number of stability issues.
