Subject: Re: Folder and ZIP format contributions containing nested
application JARs
[[snip]]
I'm not sure if you're objecting to supporting zip contributions with
nested jars or that currently the change to do that doesn't
discriminated between zip and jar contributions so its possible to
nest jars in jars?
I'm against adding nested jars to jar contributions. Zip contributions can
have its own classloading scheme.
I don't think we should require a manifest in a zip contribution as
the spec doesn't say thats required, i guess we could support an
optional manifest to enable defining only a subset of the nested jars
get used though it doesn't seem like a high priority to me.
We might need to bring this up to the SCA spec to get clarifications on how
Zip should be handled.
