Reconsider the /bin and /lib folders
clange opened this issue · comments
What is the purpose of the /bin and /lib folders? If a developer clones this repository, they will need Maven anyway, and Maven will retrieve all library dependencies. They will also need to compile the sources, and end up with their own /bin. The stuff in /bin is not as easy to execute as double-clicking on something, i.e. it's not end user friendly anyway (and not currently intended to be). In other words one has to be a developer anyway to be able to make sense out of this repository. From this point of view it's only necessary to keep the sources in this repository.
Is /index also something that can be generated from a source?
Same for /target?
