Rick Hillegas commented on DERBY-6944:
--------------------------------------
I see the argument for adding the localizations as dependencies of the engine
jar. Note that they are conceived as optional files, that is, as add-ons, not
as dependencies, and they are meant to be picked up on the classpath only if
they are present. The whole pile of localizations weighs in at more than 1M.
Resource-constrained devices would not welcome the extra weight.
I can see that this conflicts with Tomcat's assumption that everything on the
manifest classpath must be a required dependency of the jar file.

> Key: DERBY-6944
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6944
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Localization
> Affects Versions: 10.5.3.0, 10.13.1.1
> Reporter: Martin Sillence
> Priority: Minor
>
> The main derby jar file has a manifest with a classpath entry e.g.
> Class-Path: derbyLocale_cs.jar derbyLocale_de_DE.jar...
> When using maven repository it downloads the files with the version numbers
> in it:
> derbyLocale_cs-10.5.3.0_1.jar
> if deployed on a recent version of tomcat the manifest it automatically
> interrogated and tomcat attempts to load the jar files as named. This fails
> as the names do not match.
> Also the additional files are not specified as dependencies in the derby
> pom.xml file so they are not automatically retrieved.
> Please would you consider adding in the dependencies to the published files
> and putting in the version in the names in the manifest when publishing to
> maven?
> Workarounds:
> fetch maven dependencies with "-Dmdep.stripVersion=true"
> Turn off auto loading of manifest classpath for all files
> add: <JarScanner scanManifest="false"/>
> to tomcats context.xml
