Interesting. Sounds like a great idea to me then. I was a little
concerned that they might be placed in $JAVA_HOME/lib/ext or some
other equally bad place to ensure "ease of access" and therefore an
endless stream of questions on the mailing list from people deploying
their WAR files on distros that include the Cayenne jar :)
In addition to Jason's offer to provide a sample spec file, there are
also tools that will automatically build the files for you,
particularly from Makefile and ant scripts. Invariably, tweaking will
be required, but it might be a useful start..
