Joe Bohn commented on GERONIMO-3316:
------------------------------------

Is there a JSR for mfcp behavior?  I couldn't find one.  I did take a look at 
the JAR Specification here: 
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/jar/jar.html but I only see 
references to jars being included in the classpath and no mention of support 
for directory entries.  A Sun tutorial also reinforces the jar only 
interpretation: 
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/deployment/jar/downman.html .   Based 
on this I don't see anything that would support a directory only reference in 
the mfcp.  Does anybody have any additional information?

> DeploymentContext.getCompleteManifestClassPath figures out the whole set of 
> jars in an ear in a modules classpath.  If somethings missing it throws an 
> exception and prevents deployment.  We need a switch to be more lenient, and 
> we need to provide more info when there's a problem on which jar has the 
> problem and how we found it.
> Thanks to David Harbige on the user list for pointing out that this is a big
