Well, Eclipse assists by having utility projects. From the WTP
documentation:
An enterprise application can contain utility JAR files that are to
be used
by the contained modules. This allows sharing of code at the
application
level by multiple Web, EJB, or application client modules. These JAR
files
are commonly referred to as utility JAR files. The utility JAR files
defined
for an enterprise application project can be actual JAR files in the
project, or you can include utility Java projects that are
designated to
become the utility JAR files during assembly and deployment.
Do you have any idea what that means in non-eclipse-speak? To me it
means nothing :-(
in ee-land, you can have jars in an ear that are in the classpath of
everything in the ear (typically by putting them in the lib/ dir of
the ear). Does this have anything to do with eclipse utility jars?
So it sounds to me that having the geronimo-service.xml in such
projects in
the first place was a mistake, as these projects are not meant to be
deployed by themselves. I don't think the JIRA Tim mentioned should
have
removed support for utility projects altogether, just geronimo-
service.xml.
Now I know that geronimo has it's own robust module support, but since
that's not exposed to Eclipse directly I'd like to use utility
projects.
Should I create a JIRA to get this support back in?
I'd prefer to understand what is meant by a utility module better
before saying anything.
thanks

I don't know how eclipse assists with this but you can include
configuration for gbeans in any kind of geronimo plan, including that
for ears (geronimo-application.xml or external plan), ejb modules
(openejb-jar.xml), or web modules (geronimo-web.xml). META-INF/
geronimo-service.xml would only get detected if you were deploying a
jar directly not as a javaee application.
Generally gbean config is at the end of the plan after all the javaee
stuff.
