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

Based upon Jeff's response I understand the following:

- An ear is being deployed into Geronimo 
- it contains a manifest with classpath entries primarily for use in other 
application servers
- In that manifest classpath there are entries that include directory only 
references (again, primarily for other application server)
- the desire is that Geronimo would:
   - Ignore errors for non-jar entries (ie. the directory entries) and deploy 
the application
   - It is not required that Geronimo to include jars in the classpath that are 
contained in the directory or other non-spec compliant content in the actual 
classpath.

> warn but don't prevent deployment if an ear's manifest cps are messed up, and 
> provide more info on where.

> 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 
> usability problem.
