Why ignore the component xml file means doesn't work, in practice, the
component.xml file
is impossible for users to edit it manually, you are expert ;-) , you
know about the virtual component
model, but most of users don't know and what it is for.
true, but since it is the heart of how WTP based projects are deployed it
is an rather important part to make sure it is used correctly.
Rob helped WTP finally go forward to clean up this mess that have been
created
in WTP by ignoring the good things about component.xml and the virtual
component
model - we now just need to figure out how to get to that better place.

I have not investigated WTP code deep enough so I really don't find any
guides that told me
I must use Virtual Component to look for all related resources in module
factory, if you are familiar
with it, you can speak up or create a jira, rather than so easy to be
annoyed ;-) .
...sounds like you guys talk more together now you are on different
than you did the whole last year where you where next to each other ;)
If we change it to use ComponentDeployable as module delegate, the
old
component xml file doesn't
work, so we have think about support of old esb project.
Yes, we do.
Any suggestions ? Can we support both ? Can we add a warning for users
to migrate to the new "format", have the old deprecated and then remove
in next major release ?
Note, if it is completely impossible breaking old projects (but at least
provide a migration form) I'm willing to consider when I understand the
above since JBDS 3/JBT 3.1 is the "real" release for SOA-P ...
