Hi devs, In XWiki 9.0RC1 we’re putting XED files in WEB-INF/lib next to the JAR to which they correspond.
I have 2 issues with this: * We’re not really supposed to use WEB-INF/lib for that. WEB-INF/lib is meant for JAR files that are to be made available to the classloader. It’s even possible that some servlet container would emit warnings about this. * This is a WTF for admins when they discover this. The WAR has a spec and it’s standardised. Thus the WTF when you see this since you’re not used to seeing this anywhere else. I’m thus proposing to move the XED files to a META-INF/xwiki/ directory inside the WAR instead since META-INF is meant to contain metadata information and is thus meant exactly for this. WDTY? Thanks -Vincent
