Re: [jboss-dev] jbossall-client.jar now references external libs
No IDE I've used listened to the manifest.mf to fetch in additional jars
for the classpath.
Do you know of anyone ? then I would like to know about it so I can use
that as an argument when dealing with Eclipse JDT.
That being said we could write a classpath container for Eclipse that will
automatically pick up the
jars listed in a manifest.mf. The problem is just that what shold eclipse
do if one of those jars is actually one of the
projects you have as a dependency in eclipse - that would create an issue
with respect to which dependency (the jar or the project)
should we use.
/max
What does eclipse need then, bundle manifest headers? Ship a ant
script/java class that lets the user make an uber jar from the manifest
classpath.
