[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-3770) can not edit server runtime classpath

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3770?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12451729#action_12451729 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-3770:
------------------------------------

I asked some jboss guys under any circumstances would *anyone* need to modify the run.sh classpath.

I was told repeatedly the answer is no. In order to add jars to classpaths the user should put hte jar in a lib folder or a deploy folder properly. Simply adding it to the run.jar classpath is inappropriate and not a proper use.

Because of this, it was determined the classpath was one of those launch config variables that would be directly managed by the server. This is so that the user doesn't go removing random things from the classpath, but also so that if the user changes the runtime (or runtime location) we don't end up with two run.jar's on the classpath. 

If a valid use case can be presented to me for modifying the classpath to launch the config rather than using the proper methods (lib / deploy folder etc) then I can try to come up with a more intelligent way to make sure we don't end up with two competing run.jars on the classpath.
