[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-4645) BPEL project's module factory exposes random artifacts

BPEL project's module factory exposes random artifacts ------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBIDE-4645 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4645 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: bpel Affects Versions: 3.1.0.M3 Reporter: Rob Stryker Assignee: Denny Xu Priority: Blocker Fix For: 3.1.0.M3 if I create a BPEL project and add a text file to it, the module does not show up in the add / remove section. The module simply isn't created by its module factory because it lacks a BPEL file. It seems this is by design, as the module factory specifically ignores the project if it has no BPEL file. But it seems counter intuitive to a user who just made a BPEL project that nothing is showing up. In addition to this, the project is a modulecore project but completely lacks a .settings/org.eclipse.wtp.component.xml file. This means there's no mapping at all as to what source or binary files should be exposed by the module to be published. Also notable is that if I manually add a component.xml file, any mappings I put in it are 100% ignored. Additionally, I made a project with the following structure: - BP5 - BP5/folder3 - BP5/folder3/test9.file - BP5/MyFolder - BP5/MyFolder/some.bpel - BP5/MyFolder/test.file The output of this was a jar of the following structure: BP5.jar BP5.jar/MyFolder BP5.jar/MyFolder/some.bpel Not only did it ignore the folder3 and whatever files were inside, it ALSO ignored the MyFolder/test.file, which was in the same folder as a bpel file. This is an *extremely* ill defined module factory. As a user of this "BPEL Project" I honestly have no idea what files I'm supposed to include, where I should add them, whether the files I add will be included in the resultant jar, or pretty much anything about it at all. If *I* have no idea how to use it, I find it very very difficult to imagine any other user will understand it either. I simply do not understand the usecase of a user creating a "BPEL project" , potentially filling it with 100 files, and then when "publishing" it, asking for only 2 of the files to be included in the zip. I *could* understand that if the user specifically overrode the defaults to declare that as the desired publishing structure, but as a default, to only include a .bpel file, one must wonder why the user needs a bpel project in order to house one single bpel file and then zip it up. I am completely baffled.
