reduce the size of checkout

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I have just started downloading jiva. From what I see on the wiki, it 
seems like a great project!

This is just a request to keep the repository small.

When I do a "svn co 
http://jiva-ng.googlecode.com/svn/branches/Rel_0_1_5/", it downloads some 
large files like ant.jar, scala-library.jar, scala-compiler.jar

Since Scala is already a pre-requisite, I guess these need not be part of 
the svn repo.

Ant could be also added as a pre-requisite.

Thanks,
Harshad

I didn't mean to file it as a defect, btw.
Google code gave me no choice :(

The intent with the current repo structure is to make it very easy for people to
download and run Jiva - at the cost of an extra few megs of download.

Was the extra stuff that was downloaded a big problem for you, Harshad?

I'll keep an eye on this issue and make the repo smaller if this turns out to 
be a
problem for people.

Note - with the current repo structure, Scala is only an Optional pre-requisite.

Not really a "big" problem. Just slows things down...
