[jboss-as7-dev] Reducing the time spent in fixing CNFE issues due to missing dependencies in module.xml

[Jaikiran Pai]

I have been quite frequently running into classloading problems while 
working with AS7. It's mainly a result of not having the correct 
dependencies setup in my module.xml. For example, if I have class which 
imports some classes from jboss-common-core module (let's assume that's 
the name) and some other classes from jboss-transaction-integration 
module then the build completes successfully and it's only during 
runtime that I start running into CNFE and/or NCDFE issues. I then I 
have to individually track down these dependencies *one at a time* and 
then go back to add it as a dependency in my module.xml.

Is there any better way to manage this? I am aware that just adding 
anything and everything in the module.xml isn't a right approach, but 
atleast for classes which are directly imported into other classes of a 
module, it would be better to somehow automate (or better manage) the 
process of setting up the module.xml. That would atleast minimize the 
time spent in fixing the module.xml by trial and error method. Thoughts?
