Aaron Mulder commented on GERONIMO-1259:
----------------------------------------

Are you suggesting that we change our "deployment plan format" so an EAR 
"deployment plan" can be a JAR file containing 
META-INF/geronimo-application.xml where that file has alt-dd elements referring 
to other module's deployment plans within the JAR (relative to the root of the 
JAR)?

Our current EAR plan format has the advantage of being human-readable.  Do you 
think reducing the number of bytes in the plan at the cost of making it a 
binary file is worthwhile?  I have my doubts.

But I'm not sure that's the correct reading of this issue -- could you 
elaborate?  Thanks.
