For JBT M2 you would have to add it manually since we limited the automatic class path inclusion to public javax api.

Yes, this is my problem - that there will be discrepancies by default which aren't good.

True. We've got plans to allow user to configured what parts of the modules in AS7 they will include on projects - but as you say its a challenge to get the "easy setup, short toerm" to work well with "a bit more options but stable long term" solutions.

right now i'm leaning towards the "long term" option but if we can find a better balance in how the two are setup/configured that would be great.
