Does excalibur-component depend on altrmi?
Does excalibur-monitor depend on component?
Does phoenix depend on monitor?

As for both grok and locn, I can help with both.

--- GROK ---

In the following file:

http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-alexandria/proposal/gump/project/jakarta-avalon-cornerstone.xml?rev=1.52&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

there is a line that says

<option project="excalibur-altrmi" inherit="runtime"/>

the documentation for that element can be found at:

http://jakarta.apache.org/gump/project.html#option

--- LOCN ---

Past history:

Any committer who has demonstrated an ability to build the "gen" target 
of gump's build.xml (elapsed time is typically less than one minute, the 
only dependencies are ant, xerces, and xalan), and has expressed an 
interest in maintaining one or more descriptors, has been immediately 
voted in as a committer to Alexandria.

If the project definition in jakarta-avalon-cornerstone's cvs will be 
maintained, then gump can pick it up from there.  My experience has been 
otherwise.  Four months ago Peter Donald tried moving the gump 
descriptors to the various Avalon cvs's.  Other than PeterD himself, I 
saw little interest in the Avalon community for maintaining these 
descriptions.  Therefore, the only affect of this was to make it so that 
those who were actively interested in maintaining this were unable to do 
so.  I was pleased when Peter moved these files back.

Current plans:

The current plans is to create a cvs where any Apache committer can make 
a change.  This should be done this week.  The reason is simple: 
apparently the above two policies were not liberal enough.  Hopefully 
this new approach will eliminate any excuses.
