    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10618?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12659272#comment-12659272 ] 

Jonathan Fuerth commented on JBIDE-10618:
-----------------------------------------

I wouldn't say the creation of a dynamically configured deployment descriptor for AS7 is a zero-change proposition. Plus, it's likely going to require a patch to AS7 to expose WEB-INF/classes as a configurable resource-root.

Remember, the only reason we have to hide these classes from the webapp classloader is because we are working around a deficiency in Eclipse JDT/WTP. Users don't have to know how to run their app server to run with this agent, because the client classes the agent would be trying to hide are not in the .war they are deploying. The agent is only required as a workaround when launching from WTP, and this is something JBT can take care of when it launches the server.

The big advantage of the agent approach is that it will work with any app server. All you have to do is activate the agent in the VM.

> When using Run-As, Add-Remove or other WTP-based deployment mechanisms on a GWT app - the client Java classes are deployed to the server (under WEB-INF) - these .java files are supposed to be converted to .js files and not deployed.
