Gump meta-data is insufficient.
It sure is. But it can be enhanced without having Gump barf on extra tags.
In order to create a functionally sufficient expression of path information you would need 6 separate gump project descriptors per project:
build test runtime-api runtime-spi runtime-impl runtime-composite
Gump uses the word "project" in an improper way, as it's more about a project descriptor.
You can do the above in Gump by creating avalon, avalon-test, avalon-api, etc... If you look at the descriptors this is for example what Ant and many other projects do.
I.e. gump is very focused on the pure compile scenarios and does not deal with the realities of test and runtime environments that load plugins dynamically.
You cannot create fixed metadata for dynamically loaded plugins (components), unless you decide to declare them, and the above is sufficient.
