--------------------------------------------------------------
I recently discovered jboss-modules and instantly liked it. Having been looking around for some open source project to contribute to I searched jboss-modules' JIRA instance and chose [MODULES-3| https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODULES-3 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/MODULES-3 - Support loading modules from a single jar. The preliminary results can be viewed at [ https://github.com/obergner/jboss-modules/tree/ob-modules-3 https://github.com/obergner/jboss-modules/tree/ob-modules-3], i.e. I developed my solution in a topic branch called +ob-modules-3+.

Current status:

1. I implemented JarRepositoryResourceLoader, a ResourceLoader implementation for loading resource from - you guessed it - a repository that has been compressed into a jar. Taking the existing JarResourceLoaderTest as a blueprint I implemented JarRepositoryResourceLoaderTest. This test passes.

2. I implemented JarRepositoryModuleLoader, a ModuleLoader for loading modules from a repository that has been compressed into a jar. Again, I took the LocalModuleLoaderTest as a blueprint and implemented JarRepositoryModuleLoaderTest. This test passes.

3. To avoid code duplication I extracted an abstract base class out of JarFileResourceLoader. Now, JarFileResourceLoader and JarRepositoryResourceLoader derive from this common base class.

4. To avoid confusion between JarFileResourceLoader and JarRepositoryResourceLoader I renamed JarResourceLoaderTest to JarFileResourceLoaderTest.

5. In order to be able to reuse ModuleXmlParser I modified it so that most of its methods now take an URL instead of a File in their parameter list.

6. The JIRA task mentions maven plugins, ant and gradle tasks for converting a file based repository into a jar repository. I haven't started working on those yet.

So if someone from the core developers could have a look at what little I have so far and give me some feedback I would be more than happy to continue working on jboss-modules.

Regards,
Olaf
