Sometimes asking the questions makes you think....
It seems this can be achieved using the "hidden-classes" element in the
module definition. I was probably fooled by Quartz logging version "1.5.2"
even if the version really was "1.6.5". I looked at the Quartz source and
they are loading the version numbers from a file "build.properties":
is = QuartzScheduler.class.getResourceAsStream("/build.properties");
I tried to add a "hidden-classes" filter on both "build.properties" and
"/build.properties", but I don't think it is excluded. I guess the
"hidden-classes" functionality treats this as a package name. Any way to
escape it?
Thanks!
