Description Simon Lee CLA 2006-03-23 14:23:01 EST
My application is kind of stand alone application.  Once we want to export an
application into a jar file, we have the option of check and uncheck any class
or resources as mentioned below.  The problem is if our application needs only
five classes from another project or library which has more than hundreds of
classes, first we have to know exactly which classes we need, then we need to
find out if those classes need other resources from other packages or libraries
and so on.
The other option is to package all the libraries that our program needs and
give it to the user, but we will have a big package that most of it will be not
used.

There should is an option to collect all related classes and resources that are
needed by the exporting class and put them all in the JAR. We want the system
so determine what the minimum set of required classes/resources is.

This is an enhancement to get the transitive closure of types to export.
Moving to JDT/UI
