[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-26305) Jars inside an EAR application are not compressed

Jars inside an EAR application are not compressed ------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-26305 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-26305 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: server Reporter: Martin Malina Assignee: Rob Stryker Priority: Major Fix For: 4.11.x A customer has reported an issue where an ear project, when deployed to EAP 7.1, contains exploded jars which then breaks his app. It seems that in his case it happens both in the case of a jar inside a war inside an ear, as well as just a jar inside an ear. Also, when the customer deploys the same app in the same workspace and same eclipse to EAP 6.4, it works fine - all the jars are zipped. The customer reports that he can change this behavior in the Deployments tab of the server editor, but it would be nice to be able to define this beforehand in a config file. I tried to reproduce this in devstudio 12 and in my case the behavior was the same with both EAP 6.4 and 7.1 - in both cases an included jar was exploded which I think is wrong. So two main things to consider: 1. Is this a bug? I believe it is - a jar lib should always be zipped by default. Or do you disagree? 2. Is there a way to specify if a module of an EAP is zipped or not in a config file? If not, can this be added?
