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.
Thoughts?

I'm not the best one to give opinion on that but here it is.
The change will complicate things and confuse users. As well doesn't
seem scalable to me. When we have more server configurations, we'll
need
more lib directories (platforms more affected)... The change could
break
user utilities that expect the old layout, etc.
IMHO a straightforward approach will be to remove the
JBOSS_HOME/server/*/lib directories altogether and have all libraries
in
JBOSS_HOME/lib or another directory. Then appropriate libraries for
every server configuration be selected in a configuration file
(conf/jboss-service.xml?).
