Re: [jboss-dev] new shared JBOSS_HOME/server/lib directory

Another option would be to have a "*.lnk" (or whatever *.alias) extension which would just contains a URL to the new target (absolute or relative). That way we get the best of both world. i.e. default/lib/ would contain things such as: avalon-framework.jar.lnk hibernate-jbosscache2.jar.lnk jacorb.jar.lnk jbosscache-core.jar-lnk jbosscache-pojo.jar.lnk jgroups.jar.lnk and this new referral deployer would simply dynamically add to the deployment list the target JAR minus the ".lnk" extension.
