Ittay Dror commented on PAXWICKET-27:
-------------------------------------
the use case is as i stated in the issue description: it is a common idiom in
web applications to find "extension" jars by querying the context class loader
for the resource 'META-INF/myresource.properties', a list of files is returned,
each from an extension jar.
> the pax wicket bundle should import 'META-INF'

> it is a common idiom for a library to allow other libraries to hook into it
> by providing some special file (usuall properties) in META-INF. these files
> are found by using the context class loader and they can then contain
> reference to classes in the plugin libraries.
> in pax wicket and jetty (pax web) setup, the context class loader is
> BundleClassLoader, which uses the pax wicket bundle to load
> classes/resources. since the bundle doesn't import 'META-INF', it will not
> find the resources in other libraries (assuming they export 'META-INF')
