[forge-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (FORGE-1180) Warn when duplicate classes are found in dependencies from separate addons

George Gastaldi created FORGE-1180: -------------------------------------- Summary: Warn when duplicate classes are found in dependencies from separate addons Key: FORGE-1180 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/FORGE-1180 Project: Forge Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Furnace (Container) Affects Versions: 2.0.0.Alpha11 Reporter: George Gastaldi Fix For: 2.x Future {quote} <lincolnthree> gastaldi: the APIs will probably conflict if both are used in the same addon. in that case, a classloading-only addon containing the shared APIs must be created <lincolnthree> gastaldi: this is the only downside of a modular system <lincolnthree> gastaldi: one of the few downsides :) <gastaldi> hum <gastaldi> we need to have some way to query if a class exists in an addon <lincolnthree> gastaldi: why? <gastaldi> so we avoid adding duplicate classes in different addons? <lincolnthree> gastaldi: duplicate classes in addons is not a bug, per-say <gastaldi> aka: how the heck would I know that one need to create a shared API for the bean-validation? <lincolnthree> gastaldi: what we could do is possibly some runtime analysis of the code and warn when duplicate classes are found in dependencies from separate addons <lincolnthree> gastaldi: and we could also run this as a service on the forge website <gastaldi> lincolnthree, so this shared API is just a enhancement, not requirement? <lincolnthree> gastaldi: correct {quote} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
