Re: [jboss-dev] Splitting system and user deployments

Although I would like to see ./deploy reserved for user applications (option C), it will wreak havoc :-). Expect for breaking the testsuite and tck for a week (ok that's temporary), every script, classpath or document out there will most probably break. I reckon the safest option is a variation of option A: ./deploy ./deploy-apps Leave things in deploy as-is and add a deploy-apps pre-configured to be deployed last. If users want to use this instead of ./deploy, fine, if not, no problem again. A directory listing will also show those together. For AS 6 you can try more radical changes, IMHO. Jason T.
