erm, should it be caring and loading them? Is there a reason
(other than you hate this part of the system which I totally
understand) why it ignores them?
I talked about it a little at WONoVA tonight, but I think the
reason I didn't deal with anything except frameworks is because in
a normal app, I've only ever had two types are dependencies --
ones in Libraries (which were already included) and frameworks
(which eclipse="true" picks up for you). Part of this was
minimizing the impact of this change on people's existing
build.xml files, I suppose, but partly I just never had a case
that had a problem, so it wasn't really an issue until now.
My thought was that it would be nice / convenient / consistent if
the entire classpath was taken from the .classpath file without
extra scanning steps in the build.xml (Libraries/*/jar and /Library/
WebObjects/Extensions/*.jar). If we (and I use that term
euphemistically) go down this route, some representation of /
Library/WebObjects/Extensions would be needed in the classpath so
that people could opt in or out of this bad idea. At least it
would make its inclusion explicit. Though that then leaves a
different with the runtime behavior of wobootstrap.
Would it be reasonable to file a Radar requesting that Library/
WebObjects/Extensions be deprecated, or at least the behavior of
wobootstrap loading the contents of it?
Yes.
I blame Dave.
I am Mr. Edge Case and proud of it. Nothing good code-deed can
withstand the intense abuse of a WebObjects Java Client app using
SQL Server and deployed to Tomcat on Windows! Bwahahaha, ha. ha. ha?
Dammit why does everyone leave when I do that?
Not leaving so much as backing away slowly...
