Taher Alkhateeb commented on OFBIZ-7534:
----------------------------------------

Hi Pierre,

You are confusing two completely different things here. Using an older or a newer version of a library for your custom requirements is different from installing a specific version of a software on your computer and downloading the specific library needed for this software which is installed on _your_ computer.

You are asking us to download jar files that are totally dependent on YOUR computer. The downloaded version may or may not work on your computer because it depends on the version of the database installed.

Hence, there are no other libraries in OFBiz that I am aware of that require installing certain software on your computer. Hence, these libraries are left to the user to determine the best database version.
