[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-15392) Add api in server needed for source lookup

[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15392?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12801786#comment-12801786 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-15392:
-------------------------------------

The API in my as.classpath code which I am making 100% requires a IRuntime.   This is because for servers < 7,  we MUST know what configuration they are using. We cannot simply use 'default' as that doesn't make sense if the runtime is customized to 'all' or 'myconfig'.  

In AS7, as well, in the future there will be more customizations, and the ability to know what jars are applicable to the server will evolve. It would make no sense to perform these tasks without knowing what IRuntime they apply to.

> As uncovered in https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-central/pull/128/files#L5L120 we got a problem with source lookup code always having to play catchup with server changes.
> We need to define a stable api that can be used here.
> lets outline what api is actually needed and then subjiras for the specifics.
> For me it looks like server lookup needs a few things:
> 0. know exact version of server
> 1. know the file structure of a certain server
> 2. get dir or directories that contain jar that is the "runtime"
> My guess is that #2 might just be sufficient for source code lookup.
> Any comments ?
