I take your point. In the general case, server side dependencies need to be copied into WEB-INF/lib. Otherwise, the server code won't be able to access it. I can see how an XML parser might be a special case where the servlet container could be reasonably expected to provide it.
Toby, do you have any thoughts on this? I think you're familiar with the pattern we're using of isolating Jetty from the system classpath to enforce the rule that server deps have to go into WEB-INF/lib (as opposed to just being on the system classpath). How are things like XML parsers generally treated? Should we special-case this?
