Hello, My project needs only 2 jars from GAE/J: appengine-api-1.0-sdk-1.3.8.jar appengine-api-labs-1.3.8.jar
The rest of the jars supplied by the plugin are API's that are not used by our application and thus not required as part of the deployment: appengine-jsr107cache-1.3.8.jar datanucleus-appengine-1.0.7.final.jar datanucleus-core-1.1.5.jar datanucleus-jpa-1.1.5.jar geronimo-jpa_3.0_spec-1.1.1.jar geronimo-jta_1.1_spec-1.1.1.jar jdo2-api-2.3-eb.jar jsr107cache-1.1.jar I've tried to delete these jars and deployed the app to GAE/J -- It works great and the application is running happily ever after. The thing is GAE Eclipse plugin insists on recopying the jars to the project war/WEB-INF/lib folder (* it's unclear the when it decides to do so). I even tried to edit the values of filesCopiedToWebInfLib from the settings file .settings/com.google.appengine.eclipse.core.prefs which also did not help (further more -- The plugin just updated this entry back to it's original state... why put a configuration option if you ignore it?) I want these jars removed for 2 reasons: - 1. It makes the project lighter, removes clutter and is generally better to pull small project over wire. - 2. I remember reading in the mailing list that fewer jars help improve the application cold start times. I'm not talking about projects like spring that have large startup penalty but simply having "jar flles" in the classpath. Don't know if this is true and I haven't done any benchmarks to verify this. OTOH to be on the safe side -- Why test if I can simply not upload the unwanted jars and be done with it? So, in conclusion - What is the proper method (if any) to instruct GAE Eclipse Plugin to skip checking and copying of jar's that are "basic GAE sdk jars" into my WEB-LIB/lib folder?
