[jbosstools-dev] Current WTP-style project offerings

Hey Gary...

Yes, I believe that's sort of what Max was alluding to. My suspicion is that this would be on the UI side, not the deployment side, and would grab the workspace-relative project files and suck them into what gets deployed to the server. I don't think we're talking about sharing resources between deployed BPELs here. 

Max, can you confirm?

Hi Brian

If I understand you correctly, you mean that an Eclipse user may way to 
deploy their BPEL from one project and reference their WSDL from another 
project? (same for xsd aswell?)

If so, then I don't think we care from the riftsaw/runtime perspective, 
as long as the deployed archive has the wsdl contained within the same 
hierarchy as the BPEL and deployment descriptor, and that all the 
relative paths are correctly resolved.

 From a user perspective, I think it might be nice to offer the 
flexibility, but depends on how easier it will be to ensure the relative 
paths are all resolved correctly.

Regards
Gary
