For sure, and (just to be clear to all) these are not just for Eclipse's
benefit, they are for our benefit as they are the definition of our
class library modularity. When you add a new Import or Export you are
changing the module's interface and potentially adding new coupling. It
should not be undertaken lightly.
Hi Tim,
I've just realized that I don't really understand why we should add tests'
dependencies to manifest. I guess that I missed something. I've looked
through harmony-dev mail archive but I haven't find answer. Could you give
me a hint where to look at?
I asked that a while ago, and it's still an outstanding question. I
really don't mind them there, but seems it would be cleaner if we had a
second manifest for the test jars or something...
Thanks,
Stepan.
I appreciate that it is hard to maintain the module boundaries if you
don't use a tool like Eclipse that warns you if you reach outside the
module definition; and we should consider adding such a check into the
automated build.
Therefore, I'd not be in favour of automatically updating the Imports
and Exports in the manifest -- it would hide any widening of the
inter-module dependencies and we could end up with the spaghetti code
evident in 'other popular implementations of the spec'.
Regards,
Tim
