Section 12.2 in the SCA Assembly spec describes contribution formats and makes it sounds like you should be able to have things like folder or zip format contributions which contain application artifacts like jar files which should be made available. The spec doesn't specifically mention contributions containing nested jar files, but from my read of the spec that does seem to be the intention.I've added an itest "contribution-folder" which shows what I think should work but doesn't with the current tuscany code. As an example, the folder contribution at [1] the two jars don't get added to the classpath. I wondered what others thought, should this be something thats supported?
