Karl Wright commented on CONNECTORS-862:
----------------------------------------
The simple way to do this would be to create a common dist/lib directory, and
modify the executecommand[.bat/.sh] and start-webapp[.sh/.bat] scripts for
every classpath addition, using a technique similar to what we do for
connectors.xml. The only place this would not be correct would be in external
process areas, where separate lib directories would still be needed.

> Our -bin packages now exceed 200M. We need to do what we can to reduce their
> sizes in the future.
> One of the biggest contributors to bloat in the bin package is the
> duplication of jars. While some of this is unavoidable (we will still need
> the connector-lib and connector-lib-proprietary directories, for instance),
> we can save maybe 100M simply by having only one copy of a jar for all jars
> used in explicit classpaths. The strategy of putting jars needed in a given
> classpath in a specific directory, for example, could be replaced by having
> jars reside in one place, and building class paths at compile time based on
> dynamic conditions. We may need an ant plugin for this, but I think it would
> be well worth it.
