RE: [jboss-dev] jbossall-client.jar now references external libs
I agree, this will be a big usability issue. For the sake of making OUR life
easier (patching), we are going to make EVERYBODY's life more difficult,
that's nonsense. If you need a patching mechanism, write a script which will
just do that, but do not impact user usability.

Hmmmm, we're gonna have users screaming about this.
In the past, if you're developing a client app in Eclipse, you only
needed jbossall-client.jar and log4j.jar but this won't be the case
with
AS5 as I've just found out when trying to run a client app against
trunk. Eclipse for example does not read manifest classpath entries:

I've just talked to Max who confirmed it. I'll let him explain the gory
details of Eclipse.
Cheers,
