Andrew McIntyre commented on DERBY-612:
---------------------------------------

Ant's general lack of list processing or loops would, in my opinion, make 
generating the list of locales to add to the manifest's classpath more trouble 
than it would be worth. I plan to resolve this issue by adding a static 
Class-Path entry to derby.jar's manifest.

> Add locale jars as ClassPath entries in derby.jar

> Adding the locale jars (derbyLocale_es.jar, derbyLocale_de_DE.jar etc.) as 
> ClassPath manifest entries in derby.jar would remove the need for users to 
> add them to their class path. Thus the only jars required in the user's 
> classpath  would be:
> derbynet.jar - running network server (already brings in derby.jar)
> derby.jar - running embedded
> This would add to the ease of use for Derby. The manifest entries could be 
> generated based off the list of locales or justr hardcoded in the build 
> target for derby.jar (since they change infrequently).
> Since ClassPath entrries are ignored if the jars do no exist, this would do 
> no harm in an environment where none or a subset of the locare jars are 
> shipped.
