[jboss-dev] jaxen in AS

[Dimitris Andreadis]

That's fine. I guess, that's more like a feature request for dependency tool support:

- be able to declare an alternate dependency (works with cglib x OR javassist y)
- allow an override from a top level component (use javassist)

But components should still declare their direct dependencies.
