Add support for SAR projects
----------------------------
Key: JBIDE-9497
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9497
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Affects Versions: 3.3.0.M2
Reporter: Fred Bricon
Fix For: 3.3.0.M3
While working on JBIDE-9127, it appeared to me you can not deploy standalone SAR projects
(a jar with a .sar extension, capable of embedding other jars) in JBT.
This is because the JBoss AS server adapters need a new Module type to be able to perform
the actual deployment.
But in order to add such module, we need some sort of marker to identify SAR projects,
most probably a new Facet.
Sooooo, ideally we'd need to :
- create a new SAR Facet. Installing the SAR Facet would create, if needed, an empty
jboss-service.xml file in <some configurable source folder>/META-INF/
- add the ability to include/exclude files from being deployed (using filesets)
- Add a new Server Module / Factory, capable of dealing with SAR projects. SAR could be
deployed either as compressed archive or in an exploded form
- Add a new Wizard, to be able to create SAR archives
From my understanding, this is pretty similar to what's been done
for ESB projects.
Question : where would such plugins/features be kept? ESB has its own module. Adding a new
SAR module or putting it under AS wouldn't feel right IMHO.
I would suggest to rename the ESB module as JBossPackaging (similar to
http://mojo.codehaus.org/jboss-packaging-maven-plugin) and put the SAR stuff next to the
ESB stuff.
