Yup, that's true for now there's no other meta information I can think of and we can always add support for a meta-meta file when needed ;)

What's about loading all META-INF/hivemodule.xml files and everything contained in META-INF/hivedir.xml files. So you don't have to maintain hivedir.xml if you don't need it.

I like the idea although another xml file to maintain. But it could be a hivemeta file that can store all the meta information.

Hi,

I see the need for such a list of modules too. I would suggest to use xml as file format (it can't be
denied that hivemind is xml centric). Such a 'directory' file could look like this:


<directory>
 <module fileName="testA/module1.xml" />
 <module fileName="testB/module2.xml" />
</directory>

This could be the same file format that is used for 'breaking the one jar == one module" approach, like Howard put it in this posting:
http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg37000.html



Such a directory could be found by file naming conventions (META-INF/hivedir.xml) or it could be referenced from a manifest file.


Bye
