erm, should it be caring and loading them? Is there a reason
(other than you hate this part of the system which I totally
understand) why it ignores them?
I talked about it a little at WONoVA tonight, but I think the reason
I didn't deal with anything except frameworks is because in a normal
app, I've only ever had two types are dependencies -- ones in
Libraries (which were already included) and frameworks (which
eclipse="true" picks up for you). Part of this was minimizing the
impact of this change on people's existing build.xml files, I
suppose, but partly I just never had a case that had a problem, so
it wasn't really an issue until now.
My thought was that it would be nice / convenient / consistent if the
entire classpath was taken from the .classpath file without extra
scanning steps in the build.xml (Libraries/*/jar and /Library/
WebObjects/Extensions/*.jar). If we (and I use that term
euphemistically) go down this route, some representation of /Library/
WebObjects/Extensions would be needed in the classpath so that people
could opt in or out of this bad idea. At least it would make its
inclusion explicit. Though that then leaves a different with the
runtime behavior of wobootstrap.
I blame Dave.
