Re: GPL licenced Java application using non GPL jars (libraries)

[Benjamin]

That seems to make sense.

Would this mean I must also provide GPL licenced alternatives for those 
people who wish to adhere to just GPL side of the licencing or can I 
leave this up to them to implement (and of course remove the references 
imports-includes in the code)?

Thanks,

Benjamin
