I tried with exclusions.list under Tomee/conf. Got the same time with scan.xml, which is the same time without using either one. So it's either changes are not getting picked up or it's not much of a time change.
Here is my exclusions: activation- avro- bcmail- bcprov- commons-email commons-fileupload drools-api- drools-compiler drools-core filters- freemarker- hibernate-search itext- jackson- java-image- joda-time- lucene- paranamer- picketlink- poi- primefaces- scribe- snappy- ui- usertype.jodatime- usertype.spi- They average over 11MB in size, so there must be sometime spend processing those jars that can be saved. Unless I'm missing something. -- View this message in context: http://openejb.979440.n4.nabble.com/war-packaged-exclusions-list-tp4656366p4656437.html Sent from the OpenEJB User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
