> The changes made for OPENJPA-149 included committing compiled classes into 
> openjpa-kernel/src/main/resources. We're using these compiled classes (mainly 
> interfaces) to avoid reflection in the WASRegistryManagedRuntime class. The 
> classes aren't shipped with OpenJPA and are expected to be present only in a 
> WebSphere environment. 
> The maven build process copies these class files into the target directory 
> before compiling the source code. Unfortunately this approach causes problems 
> with many IDEs (I tested Eclipse & IDEA).
> The ideal solution is to pick up the UOW interfaces from a central maven 
> repository, but currently they're unavailable and the license agreement with 
> IBM prevents us from distributing the jar file ourselves - it can't be made 
> available outside of our build environment. 
> To resolve the problem I created an internal repository which can be checked 
> in to SVN. The repository is local to the openjpa-kernel module but could be 
> moved elsewhere in the build tree. Openjpa-kernel/pom.xml has been modified 
> to use this repository and pick up the websphere jar as a "provided" 
> dependency. Provided scope dependencies are not transitive and will not 
> affect downstream projects. 
> In addition the jar file and the internal repository will be included in the 
> source archive, but will not be present in the binary archive. 
> Using the internal repository should resolve many of the problems with IDEs 
> (although I've only tested the fix with Eclipse). Some manual configuration 
> may still be needed but this approach seems to work better than what we had 
> before.
