Re: [jboss-dev] Dependencies, class in multiple jar files, JBAS-1796, JBAS-6444

Jesper and I were discussing this yesterday and we also think adding in features of my Delver [http://www.thefreedictionary.com/delve] tool would be useful. This tool scans directories for jars and inspects the manifest. It's primary function is to report on lib versions, and locations so you can identify duplicate jar files, and version mismatch. This tool was how we found 3 different hibernate versions in EAP, and duplicate libs all over the place. These could fit nicely together and could provide detailed overviews of distributions.

Future options include: * ant tasks, and maven plugins for this. * Enable scanning of war, ear, etc... * trigger test failures based on various conditions * maven dependency reporting * etc...
