[overlord-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARTIF-709) Allow artifact expansion to be dynamically configurable during runtime

Allow artifact expansion to be dynamically configurable during runtime ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: ARTIF-709 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARTIF-709 Project: Artificer Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Brett Meyer Assignee: Brett Meyer Expansion is useful in some cases (especially API jars, etc.). However, in others, it's actually pretty harmful. Ex: pushing in a project's ZIP distro, a large WAR with all its dependency JARs, etc. Currently, Artificer would get overwhelmed with the amount of info to pull out. Suggestion: 1.) Expansion disabled by default 2.) Enable with checkbox on web UI, argument on CLI, argument on Java client, etc. 3.) If *not* expanded, the relationship builders should still kick in. So, the contents would still be parsed. If it contains, for example, a WSDL that imports an XSD or a Java class that impls an API interface, the relationships should still be created. But those relationships would point to the archive itself, rather than an expanded/derived artifact.
