[forge-dev] automatic dependency detection too restrictive?

[Thomas Frühbeck]

Hi,

while developing a plugin I found that I cannot access org.mvel classes.

- if I install my plugin w/o specific dependency declaration I get:
     java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/mvel2/templates/CompiledTemplate

- if I try to package my own org.mvel library via dependency declaration 
the module is imported with
<module xmlns="urn:jboss:module:1.0" 
name="at.tfr.forge.plugin-faces-id-aware.dependencies" slot="...">
<resources>
<resource-root path="metawidget-all-2.0.jar"/>
<resource-root path="mvel2-2.1.RC1.jar"/>

great so far, but then I get:

***ERROR*** [scaffold from-entity] loader constraint violation: loader 
(instance of org/jboss/modules/ModuleClassLoader) previously initiated 
loading for a different type with name 
"org/mvel2/templates/CompiledTemplate"

So this is a dead end for me. There seems to be no other way to access 
the Mvel libraries than by using maven shade, but this seems to be overkill.

Could you please rethink the visibility protection strategy or show an 
easy way to use common libraries forge already provides.

Regards,
Thomas
