[Building Sakai] [Building Sak ai] adding new JAR de pend ancy to Sakai

[Aaron Zeckoski]

Those are api jars which pretty much just have interfaces in them. If
you change the interfaces then you would need to change the
implementations as well.

For sakai services, the service apis are mostly located in share/lib
or common/lib. The service code is located in the components/*
directories.

Have you made sure that it will start when you remove your modified
and added jars?

Can you send along a copy of the logs from a startup attempt when you
have the modified code in place?
