Denny, Is the ESB module using this now ?

This require we defines what facet's etc. is installed and what they do 
for BPEL.
Denny - could you outline this in the wiki ?

What are these ? And is class folders the only thing that can have a 
flag ? What about jar's ?

Since ESB can contains WAR's (afaik, please check with ESB runtime team 
how the semantics are for this)
then this sounds like something that would be relevant to support - or 
at least figure out if it is doable to support ?

I'm missing how all this text actually looks like in components.xml, and 
what are the extensions we have *added* ? i.e.
how do they actually look (syntax) and what is the behavior (i.e. what 
flag is set on what to make the thing be exported ?)
