Following on from the discussion last week about the idea of moving
WO to servlet-only builds, what do people think about getting rid of
the "Info.plist" and instead putting that information straight into
a manifest section of the framework's "jar" file? This could
further remove the need for any special packaging for WebObjects
builds.
I think it seems reasonable for jar bundles, but kind of weird for
folder bundles which can have multiple jars in them, where the
info.plist actually defines the list of jar names. i don't know how/if
MANIFEST.MF handles nested structures, like the plist format handles.
You also still have to set all those values, so I'm not sure that you
actually gain that much by ditching what effectively is just a jar
file resource? I actually sort of hate manifest.mf because jar app is
so damn finicky about manipulating it, but other than that, I don't
know that it matters. I don't really spend a lot of time manually
editing the Info.plist in a framework bundle, so .. .meh.
