Replace existing page with new extensions to the Module Assembly page This will include extensions for Editing Java EE XML DD as appropriate Also adding classpath dependencies, and possibly other module specific configuration
Requirements beyond the generic assembly page 1) Ability add jars/projects to lib folder defined in EE DD 2) Decorator indicating which dependencies are in lib folder. 3) link in the action for editing the lib folder location
Created attachment 152055 [details] patch This has some of the recent changes - including a few refactoring options for better extensibility
I checked in more changes on Thursday morning(11/19) (in time for the I build. The module assembly page is now functional for Ear, EJB, App Client, Web, and Connector project types. Changes include: 1) Adding reference will also add entry in MANIFEST.MF 2) Removing reference will remove from MANIFEST.MF 3) Web projects have additional button for Add Web Lib Reference (This doesn't add to MANIFEST, and changes the runtime path to "WEB-INF/lib") 4) Improved icon decoration (You can see project types) 5) For Ear, added new button to edit Ear lib folder(also needs to be added as separate menu action) Unfinished changes: 1) Smart filtering (All project are available from the add dialog) 2) Add to Ear operation... If module isn't available, add it 3) Non faceted projects - some of this is working.. need to test further 4) Edit refs needs more testing Changes to consider: 1) Improved usability - adding multiple modules is a chore (support multi-select) 2) Showing read-only references (derived-refs such as classpath entries) - Didn't remember where we stand on this?

Web Project references requirement: Possible checkbox extension added to the add Reference dialog to decide what type of reference should be created (MANIFEST or web lib) Either extension to existing dialog or new dialog overriding behavior for web refs
Created attachment 155528 [details] Example patch for how to override the project reference wizard fragment Link to Bug 299066 The web project can now add their own project reference wizard as "hidden", and then filter out the other project reference wizard fragment. The attachment above is an example of how to do that =]
Deferring rest of work to M6 .... I have the changes for overriding the web references... Thanks Rob for getting me started... will drop when M6 opens up
Working on fit and finish, and remaining bugs.... Web lib over-ride view is in build
Closing this enhancement, as all the original requirements are met... any improvements, or defects will be handled separately
