Deployment support for ESB archives
-----------------------------------

                 Key: JBIDE-2018
                 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBIDE-2018
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Feature Request
          Components: esb, JBossAS
    Affects Versions: 2.1
            Reporter: Max Andersen
             Fix For: 2.2.x


ESB archives are different than anything else (see http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/JBossESBDeploymentStrategies) so they need custom deployment support.


Things to consider/figure-out:

1) Is jboss esb following some standard or is it jboss esb/jboss as specific ?
 - is there more to it than what is in the deployment description on jboss.org ?

2) In WTP terms making a module type sounds the most sensible, but adding template for it for Project Archives would be interesting too

3) Consider utilizing JBoss AS runtime classpath's instead of direct references to jar's on filesystem like the "eclipse esb quickstart plugin"

4) ESB archives has a jar folder, similar to JavaEE 5 so completing our partial "jar folder classpath container" would be relevant
