[jboss-dev] Client Compilation Assembly for AS

We currently have jbossall-client.jar, which is all of the runtime libraries required to invoke upon a JBoss instance remote to the current JVM. With Embedded AS entering the mix I'm finding the need for a new assembly containing only the compilation resources required of a client: * Everything in org.jboss.javaee (Servlet, EJB3, JMS, etc JavaEE annotations/stuff) * All of our proprietary extensions (for instance ejb3-ext-api) jbossall-client.jar is overkill for this case; it'd leak out too many internals. Consider the following: * Unit Test * Should require minimal dependencies * Launched with the required deps upon the classpath * Classes in classpath JARs loaded by application ClassLoader * Embedded launcher comes along, pointing to JBOSS_HOME, makes a URLClassLoader to bring in all of the AS runtime deps * Something loaded by Application ClassLoader references something not in jbossall-client.jar (leak), but visible to the URLCL. * NoClassDefFoundError, because we've just tried to do parent>child delegation. In short I'd like to have one dependency that we can give our users: "Bring in this one JAR and that's everything you need to compile an integration test for an application using JBossAS". (In actuality it may be 2 JARs, one for the deps and one for the Embedded launcher, but you get the point).
